Location: oswego, il		Hey peeps, now that I have this picture taking, saving, cropping, resizing and posting thing down, I can finally share this. The only thing I did not show is that you need a spacer washer for the thumb screw so the re-usable tie strap fits flush.

What I did too mine was taking a 1/2 - 13 Tap with some oil and tap the bottom of the post that fits into the bracket. This only works with the flush mount bracket. Tap the post the whole length of the tap. Know you will need to tap it two or more times so that a 1/2 - 13 bolt will fit loosely in the post. Other wise the bolt might get stuck and end up using 3/4 wrench to get it loose. I just get mine from work that are nice and sharpened get it in one try. I used 1 inch 1/2 - 13 zinc plated bolt & washer. S.S is too pricy for me to use. When they start to rust through them out and get new. I have three years on mine and still now sign of rust. This way works really well for the way i use them.
