Wes and I are trying to figure out how to hang this sign that I recently acquired.



We have the original hanging equipment which includes the hanger, 2 "s" hooks and 2 rectangular steel tabs each with a hole on each end and a hole in the center, on a raised part of the steel. Just wondering how exactly to mount it the "right" way or if anyone has pictures of this. Thanks!

Tara

The short end of the bracket would be screwed to the wall. The "S" hooks would go through the sign, then through the loops on the lower part of the long side.... Welcome aboard Tara......

Thunder,
That was our first thought, but do you know what function the rectangular pieces serve? We were thinking they might go between the bracket and the surface it's mounted to, to keep it from twisting? The "s" hooks seem to be oriented 90* off when they're hanging on the bracket hooks.
And coldpizza...sorry, not quite ready to sell it yet. It's my first good Sinclair thing!

Tara, Not positive but I think those rectangular pieces bend over the gromets and get fastened with a screw and a nut so the swinging action or movement from the wind gets transfered to the s hook insted of the grommet.
Were there any screws and nuts? This sign might hang a little different-(no S hooks) But hopefully this helps you.
