I have attached photos of the installation instructions of the Lippert Components Single Flexguard RV Slide-Out Kit Hardware # LC1346271, and also sent you a link which has the install instructions you can check out. The instructions are as follows:

Installation
Note: Variations from the install, unless otherwise approved by LCI Engineering, will not be covered under
warranty.

1. Position Flex Guard under the slide-out room where the wiring or hoses to be protected are located.

2. Insert the aluminum pin (Fig. 1A) into the Flex Guard (Fig. 1B) with the mounting bracket (Fig. 1C)
facing up. Slide the star washer (Fig. 1D) over the end of the pin at the bottom of the Flex Guard and
push in place.

3. Slide the Flex Guard clips (Fig. 1E) onto the end of the Flex Guard with the holes in the clips facing the
direction of the hoses and wiring to hold them in place. Space all clips evenly throughout the length of
the Flex Guard.

4. Install Flex Guard mounting bracket (Fig. 1C) to the bottom of the unit floor, perpendicular to the
outrigger and furthest away from the I-beam or room bar, using four #10 x 1" self-tapping screws or
#10 x 1" wood screws (Fig. 2A).

5. Mount the flat end of the Flex Guard to the LCI-supplied mounting plate (Fig. 3A) mounted offset to
the aluminum pin (Fig. 1A) at the opposite end using two #10 x 1" self-tapping screws (Fig. 3B) per belt
section. Install the LCI-supplied mounting plate to the bottom side of the slide-out room.

6. Slide any hoses and wiring through the holes in the Flex Guard clips when installing in order to protect
hoses and wiring with the Flex Guard.

7. Flex Guard should be kept parallel to the slide room floor.

8. Make sure the flat end of the Flex Guard is mounted several inches away from the direction of the bend
of the retracted Flex Guard (Fig. 4).

I bought a flexguard slideout kit to replace the one Actualy under my slideout on a Catalina 39 mkts. The rubberband is in good sape only the plastic brakets are broken. How do I get the cable through the plastic ring.

You will have to remove the cable and the flexible rail in order to replace the rings. You will then just need to run the cable and the rail though the new rings.

I have no oem supplied bracket to mount the flat end of the flexguard. Where can I purchase one?

The kit is designed to be a replacement for those campers that came with the system installed. The plate that you are referring to comes as a factory part from Lippert Components and we do not have it available.
