I am wanting to hang my larger 6 foot signs from the ceiling of my shop; they are in rings (see Sinclair sign) but I need to locate or get any ideas on brackets that will attach to the rings that will allow me to use chains to suspend them from the rafters. I know that some of the smaller sign rings had loops welded to the top outer side of the ring (see horizontal pic); I was hoping that there are brackets available similar to the one pictured in the Gulf sign that will work. Any information would be appreciated.

You should have a little room to pass through below the top bolt of your band. Go across two rafter and bring back to center point at bolt above middle of sign?

Mush safer to attach 2 chains w/ Clevis Shackles OR Bolts to sign, instead of just 1 point.

Thanks for the responses so far; Hawkike had a pair that will work for one of the signs; but I still need couple more sets. Does anyone know if they ever made a bracket like the one pictured on the Gulf sign that was for the rings that did not have the "V" shaped edge? My other rings have a flat edge, so I'm looking for one that attaches to the lip and then a Clevis devise can be attached as described by DB. Any pics etc... would be appreciated.
