Fits
Two lengths
- 60 cm — for an anchor point close to the boards.

What is in the kit
- 1× stainless steel cable with rubber coating, in the length you select — 60 cm or 120 cm

You need an anchor point
The cable secures the boards to a fixed point on the vehicle — a rack bar, a roof rail, a tie-down eye. It does not create one.
Measure from the boards to your nearest anchor point, then choose the length that covers that distance: 60 cm or 120 cm.
