  Product Description
The Fiamma 98655Z045 adapter bracket kit solves the specific mounting challenge faced by Ford Custom LWB owners who want to fit Fiamma bike racks or awnings to their van. This kit contains the vehicle-specific brackets and hardware designed to work with the Custom's roof profile and load-bearing points, ensuring a secure installation that won't compromise your van's structure. Ford Custom vans have unique mounting requirements compared to other commercial vehicles, and generic fitting kits simply won't work properly - you need this dedicated adapter to create the correct fixing points.

Campervan converters and professional installers use this kit when setting up Ford Custom LWB conversions, as it provides the foundation for Fiamma's F45 and F80 awning systems or their Carry-Bike rack range. The brackets position everything at the right height and angle, accounting for the Custom's body shape and ensuring your awning deploys smoothly without catching on roof contours. You'll find this kit essential if you're building out a Custom for weekend trips or full-time van life, as it's engineered to handle the weight and wind loading that comes with roof-mounted equipment.

Installation requires basic tools and mechanical knowledge, though many owners choose to have it fitted by a Fiamma-approved installer to ensure everything's torqued correctly and sealed against water ingress. The kit works exclusively with long wheelbase Custom models - the shorter wheelbase version needs a different part number, so double-check your van's specification before ordering. Once fitted, these brackets become a permanent part of your van's setup, creating reliable mounting points you can use for years across different Fiamma accessories as your requirements change.

Frequently Asked Questions


Will this kit fit a Ford Custom short wheelbase van?
No, the 98655Z045 is designed exclusively for long wheelbase Ford Custom models. Short wheelbase Customs require a different adapter kit with different bracket spacing and dimensions. Check your V5C document or measure your van's wheelbase to confirm which version you need before ordering.
What Fiamma products does this adapter kit work with?
This adapter kit creates mounting points compatible with Fiamma's F45 and F80 awning systems, as well as their Carry-Bike rack range designed for vans. The brackets provide the correct fixing points that Fiamma accessories need to attach securely to the Custom's roof structure.
Do I need professional installation for this bracket kit?
While competent DIY mechanics can fit this kit with basic tools, professional installation ensures correct torque settings and proper sealing against water ingress. The brackets must be positioned precisely and bolted to the van's load-bearing points with appropriate sealant. Many owners prefer having a Fiamma-approved installer handle the fitting to maintain warranty coverage and ensure structural integrity.
Does this kit include all the fixings I need?
The kit contains the vehicle-specific brackets and mounting hardware designed for the Ford Custom LWB roof structure. You'll also need the actual Fiamma awning or bike rack separately, as this adapter kit only provides the mounting foundation. Check whether your chosen Fiamma product requires any additional components for complete installation.
Can I remove and refit this adapter kit if I change vehicles?
These brackets are designed as a permanent installation specific to the Ford Custom LWB body shape, so they won't fit other vehicle models. If you sell your Custom and buy a different van, you'll need the appropriate adapter kit for that new vehicle. The brackets can technically be removed, but the mounting holes will remain in your van's roof structure.
Will fitting this kit affect my Ford warranty?
Roof modifications can potentially affect manufacturer warranties, so check your Ford warranty terms before installation. Many owners have these brackets fitted by professional installers who follow manufacturer guidelines for drilling and sealing. Proper installation with appropriate sealants shouldn't cause issues, but document the work and keep receipts in case warranty questions arise later.
