Outfitting a compact work van like the Ford Transit Connect requires smart, space-efficient solutions—and the right mounting hardware makes all the difference. In this overview, we’re diving into the Holman Shelf Mounting Bracket Kit (48301TC), a no-drill option designed specifically for the Transit Connect. This kit simplifies shelf installation, saves time, and ensures a secure, professional fit without compromising your van’s interior.

This engineered mounting kit eliminates guesswork and risks during shelf installation. Whether you’re a seasoned fleet technician or a DIY upfitter, these no-drill shelf brackets help you protect your van while ensuring a rock-solid setup.

Why the Holman Shelf Mounting Bracket Kit Is Essential

Before diving into the technical details, let’s talk about why this Holman Shelf Mounting Bracket Kit matters.

Here’s the deal:

The Ford Transit Connect has a fuel tank positioned in a vulnerable spot underneath the cargo floor. Drilling into it—even accidentally—can be expensive and dangerous. The 48301TC mounting kit solves that problem with a no-drill solution that secures the shelf unit using existing factory mounting points.

So if you’re installing the Holman 4832L Van Shelf, this kit isn’t just helpful—it’s essential.

Holman Shelf Mounting Bracket Kit Overview – What’s Included

The Holman 48301TC bracket kit is specifically designed for the Transit Connect and works perfectly with the Holman 4832L shelf. Everything you need to install comes in the box.

Kit Includes:

– Driver and passenger-side bracket arms (mirrored design)

– Carriage bolts and mounting hardware

– Powder-coated finish to match Holman shelving

Three-year factory warranty

– These vehicle-specific brackets mount to:

– The factory D-ring location on the floor

Together, these points create a stable three-point mounting system—with zero drilling required.

Installation Without Risk

Here’s where this Holman Shelf Mounting Bracket Kit Overview gets technical—in a good way.

We always prioritize safety. Drilling into any van’s floor can be risky, but especially with the Transit Connect’s sensitive layout. These brackets allow you to skip the power tools and skip the risk. You’ll install using just the included hardware.

Installation Process:

– Locate the factory holes on the wall and D-ring spot on the floor.

– Attach the Holman 4832L shelf to the bracket using the designated bolt points.

– Confirm alignment, tighten everything down, and you’re done.

No damage. No stress. Just a clean, safe install.

Holman Shelf Mounting Bracket Kit Overview: Built to Last

These aren’t just some flimsy L-brackets. The Holman 48301TC bracket kit is built tough. Like Holman’s shelves, it features a powder-coated finish in sleek gray that resists corrosion and blends in nicely with the rest of your van interior.

And just like Holman’s other van upfitting products, the bracket kit is backed by a three-year factory warranty. That’s peace of mind built into your install.

Compatible, Versatile, and Efficient

Although these brackets are designed for the Holman 4832L shelf, their mirrored design allows them to be used on either side of the vehicle. That flexibility makes planning your layout easier, especially if you’re installing multiple shelves or building out a full trade van.

Plus, using this bracket system cuts install time. Instead of drilling, measuring, and second-guessing your hardware, you can bolt and go.
