Does anyone have suggestions on safely mounting A38 ad (curved) glass to a wall? Looking for off the shelf hardware if possible. Appreciate any guidance.

I have done this for a customer, some time ago. I used pine shelving and cut two matching curved pieces for ends. They should be the same curve as the ad glass and allow 3/4" additional on the outside. Route a grove along the curve to match the glass. Mount one end to a backing board, install the glass, then screw on the other end. Paint or stain before assembly. Mount the backer board to the wall before final assembly. Can be lighted easily.

I'm not sure, if my reply will help? But, I use "Mirror clips" in both metal and plastic to mount my ad glass to the wall...

I have a Mobil ad glass for an A1, similar glass to an A38, mounted in a lighted box similar to the one T-way sells and it looks very nice....

Those are some great suggestions! I'm mounting to a 12 inch wide board and the glass is 12 inch as well, so it'off to Home Depot and see if the metal clips (above in Bob's pics) can be bent around the side of the 1/2 inch thick board. I really like the light box idea just no room.If I can ever figure out how to post pics will show my whole collection, thx again!
