How To Mount "Sombrero" Insulators To Walls

Reprinted from "Crown Jewels of the Wire", January 1986, page 18

A. 3/8 inch plywood cut into a circle 6" in diameter.

B. Cut off last 4 threads from a standard pin.

C. Shave pin until shoulder of the insulator lets pin go to the bottom of the threads.

D. With pin in hold, mark for cut off, allowing 1/4" in over flush.

E. Use a 2" wood screw to fasten the base of the pin to the plywood, pre-drilling the hole to prevent splitting.

F. Use a finishing nail to keep pin from turning.

G. Use flat metal strip for hanging.

H. Screw or nail to wall for hanging.

This idea was sent in by Dave Allsbrook, Santee, California.
