Parker Mccrory 00910 Anti-Theft Mounting Bracket

Will securely hold product in place on to a T post.Would purchase again.

HARDWARE INCLUDED! I ordered this feeling bummed by the reviews that I was also going to need hardware separately. Very glad I waited to receive it rather than trust the lists of what else I needed to get. There was a plastic bag with mounting hardware included in the package. Guess companies read these reviews after all.

All in all it works, but could be better the bottom shaft could be longer and have a couple of more holes on it for better mounting to the studs on the t post. Other reviews said to get a t post that is cut so the stud of the post is closer to the large drilled holes which makes the bracket non removable from the t post. I rummaged through piles of t posts sticking the bracket on the top until I found just the right one. You can get a t post that fits just right to the bracket. I used a pad lock to secure the bracket to the post. I put the solar charger on the bracket and the bracket on the t bar and I could not pull the solar charger off with a pad lock on. What was frustrating about the installation was falling the manufactures sizes of bolts. You really do need a size 10 bolt but you can get a longer #10 bolt like a half inch. I did not check inside the solar energizer to see how much room I had, and went with the manufacterors instructions this was a mistake, because #10 3/8 in long bolts are vary rare, you can find a lot of #10 1/2 in bolts and other sizes, but good luck finding that size at any big box store. After going to three different stores I finally found the size the manufaturor said to get. Only to find out there is a lot of room in the energizer and I could have probably used #10 2 in bolt, so if you can't find the 3/8 in short bolt, go to the more common next size up if it will fit in your energizer and you should be fine with a 1/2 in long bolt, but depending on your energizer you may need the really hard to find 3/8 in long bolt. The fact that getting the nuts and bolts were such a hassle and something that should have been included with the bracket is why this only gets three stars. The anti theft label is also kind of funny because if someone wanted to take it they could just take the t bar with the energizer mounted on it.

I found another way to install this as they require disassembly of the unit in order to install them to be "theft resistant". The tolerances on the centering of the mount holes appears to be loose, so there is interference on one side of the bracket I received to tighten the nut. It works fine once deciding how to mount it to the fence unit. I will be interested to see how the small screws hold up as the fence units with batteries and solar are heavy. With a small amount of work, these can be secured in a better way than presented in the instructions with beefier hardware and bigger holes and screws.

This does the job for us perfectly, and came with the necessary bolts to mount to the charger. We simply have our charger sitting a'top the t-post, where the weight is sufficient for our needs. In an ideal world, I would have appreciated having a insert-able mold that would allow the bracket to be fit on the post from any side... as we had already driven our post before realizing the directional needs. Live and learn. :)

I have had two of these: First one welded crooked and off-center to preclude installation of fasteners. Replacement was at least straight but still off center. In a test fit, discovered that screw heads will prevent removing the battery. Since I redrilled the holes to allow fit-up, I'll weld a new plate to the bracket to allow the fasteners to be positioned such that battery can be extracted without disasembly. I should have just welded-up my own bracket and saved the money.Suggest fabricatior should use a jig for welding.

A must have ,Mounts on a t-post and looks to the postI did drill mine out and use bigger bolts

As the other reviewer pointed out, in order to attach this mount to your solar fence charger you need:2 #10 x 3/8" bolts2 #10 nuts2 #10 flat washers2 #10 star washersMaybe most people have these items just laying around their tool box, but I sure didn't and as cheap as these things are why Parmak doesn't just include them with the mounting bracket is beyond me. Charge an extra $.50 and save us the hassle of having to run to the hardware store. My only other complaint is that it didn't sit 'even' on my T-post, so while I drove it into the ground perfectly aligned North/South, because the mount didn't sit like it should my solar charger wasn't facing the way I want and I had to pull up and re-plant the T-post. Also, one of the two holes used for the bolts wasn't drilled quite straight so my bolt went through at an angle but this didn't hinder my ability to securing fasten it so no big deal.Finally - MADE IN THE USA!

Really thought I was going to be disappointed by this as it looked too simple.KISS really is the way to go with this kind of device. It works like a hot darn and secures the charger really well to a metal electric fence post with the studs on it.We lost a $600 charger to theft before we got this, unbelievable but true that someone would endanger our bees leaving them exposed to bear attack, but there are low life creeps everywhere. This will slow them down.You need to get your post well fastened to the ground or the thief can just pull the whole post out. We did that by digging a 6" hole about 18" deep, sinking the post in, then pounding some rebar in sideways, lashing the rebar to the post and filling the hole with sprayfoam type of post anchor. That bound it all together and anchored the post. We'd have to dig a 2 foot hole now to get the post out, while this product combined with a long hasp padlock have it all fixed.

Does not, but obviously should include the hardware to actually mount it to their fencers. Fits sloppy on most t-posts
