This Fiamma 98655Z114 mounting kit provides the essential hardware for fitting F45 awnings to Ford Custom Nugget campervans manufactured from 2019 onwards. The kit includes two 8cm fitting brackets finished in black, specifically engineered to match the contours and mounting points of the Nugget's roofline. These brackets create a secure connection between your van's roof rails and the Fiamma F45 awning system, allowing you to add wind-out shade without drilling additional holes or compromising your vehicle's structure.
Ford Custom Nugget owners often struggle to find awning mounting solutions that work with their specific model year, as the 2019 redesign changed several key dimensions and fixing points compared to earlier versions. This dedicated kit solves that problem by providing brackets cut to the exact width and angle needed for post-2019 Nuggets. The 8cm bracket height positions your F45 awning at the optimal distance from the van body, preventing fabric contact with the roof during deployment and ensuring smooth operation of the roller mechanism.
You'll need this kit before attempting to install any F45 awning model on your Nugget, whether that's the F45s (the compact version designed for shorter vehicles), F45L (the longer variant), or F45 Ti (the titanium upgrade). The black powder-coated finish matches most Nugget colour schemes and resists corrosion from British weather conditions. Installation requires basic hand tools and follows Fiamma's standard F45 mounting procedure, with the brackets bolting directly to your existing roof rails. This is the same fitting kit used by professional converters and dealerships when specifying Fiamma awnings on new Nugget builds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this kit fit all Ford Custom Nugget model years?
This Fiamma 98655Z114 kit is specifically designed for Ford Custom Nugget campervans manufactured from 2019 onwards. Ford made significant changes to the Nugget design in 2019, including alterations to roof rail positioning and mounting points. If you have a pre-2019 Nugget, you'll need a different Fiamma mounting kit matched to your specific model year. Check your vehicle registration document or VIN plate to confirm your build date before ordering.
Which Fiamma F45 awning models work with this mounting kit?
This bracket kit is compatible with all Fiamma F45 awning variants including the F45s compact version, F45L longer models, and F45 Ti titanium series. The brackets create the foundation for mounting any F45 system to your Nugget's roof rails. You'll need to purchase the awning itself separately, choosing the length that suits your van and camping style. Most Nugget owners opt for lengths between 2.6m and 3.5m depending on whether they want coverage over the side door or prefer a more compact setup.
Can I install this kit without drilling into my Nugget's roof?
Yes, this Fiamma kit is designed to bolt directly to your Ford Custom Nugget's factory-fitted roof rails without requiring any additional drilling into the roof panel itself. The brackets use the existing T-track channels built into the Nugget's roof rail system. You'll need to slide the mounting bolts into the rail channel and position the brackets at the correct spacing for your chosen F45 awning length. This non-invasive installation method preserves your vehicle warranty and allows you to remove the awning system completely if needed in the future.
Why are the brackets 8cm high instead of flush mounting?
The 8cm bracket height serves two critical functions for Nugget installations. First, it provides clearance between the awning roller tube and your van's roof profile, preventing the fabric from rubbing against the vehicle body when the awning extends or retracts. Second, it positions the awning at the correct angle for water runoff, ensuring rainwater flows away from your van rather than pooling on the fabric. The Ford Custom Nugget has a distinctive roof curve that requires this specific standoff distance for proper F45 awning operation.
What's included in the Fiamma 98655Z114 kit box?
The kit contains two 8cm mounting brackets with a black powder-coated finish and all necessary fixing hardware for attaching to Ford Custom Nugget roof rails. You'll receive the mounting bolts that slide into your roof rail T-track, fixing screws for securing the brackets to the rail system, and the specialized fittings that connect your F45 awning to the bracket tops. Fiamma includes detailed installation instructions specific to the Nugget application. The kit does not include the F45 awning itself, awning legs, or any additional accessories like LED lighting strips or wind-out rooms.
Will these black brackets match my Nugget's exterior colour?
Fiamma supplies these brackets in black as standard because it's the most versatile colour for campervan applications, blending well with most Nugget colour schemes and matching the standard black roof rails fitted to these vehicles. The powder-coated black finish also provides superior UV resistance and weather protection compared to bare metal or painted alternatives. Once your F45 awning is mounted, the brackets sit largely hidden beneath the awning casing, making them barely visible from ground level. The black finish also helps prevent the brackets from standing out in photographs or drawing attention away from your vehicle's lines.
Do I need any special tools to fit this kit to my Nugget?
You can complete the installation with standard hand tools found in most home toolkits. You'll need a set of metric spanners or socket wrenches, a screwdriver set with both flat and Phillips heads, and a tape measure for positioning the brackets at the correct spacing. A spirit level helps ensure the brackets sit parallel to prevent the awning from hanging at an angle. Two people make the job easier when lifting the awning onto the brackets for final attachment. No specialist campervan workshop tools or equipment are required, though a small stepladder or sturdy platform gives safer access to your Nugget's roof.
