Mounting signs on rear ladder

[ernest917]

I've found a cheap way to mount your FROG plate or FMCA or whatever on your rear ladder....

Instead of paying $25.00+ for a holder from CW, go to local hardware an get a rural mailbox plate that you sit a mailbox on an use it - $6.00... Works great... Looks great....

Ernest; I see where you are using white nylon zip ties to attach the sign. UV will turn them brittle in about a year and your sign will blow away. I suggest that you use the black UV resistant variety and use two for each attachment as a safety precaution.

Nice idea - but just a suggestion. Why not use the standard nuts and bolts that are used to mount the plate to the holder as you would on a vehicle. You could do away with the tie wraps entirely.

Have black tie wraps attaching holder to ladder .... But could use bolts to hold to attach to holder....

Might make it hold a bit more finished - but nice job regardless.

Of course if you make it look too finished,perhaps some unknowing cop might stop you asking where the plate illumination light is.
