To attach a threaded stud magnetic mounting pad to a non-ferromagnetic material, and, for example, attach a plastic sign to a car roof, you will need to do the following steps:
You will need:
Threaded stud magnetic mounting pad
Car roof sign
Nylon insert lock nut
Wrench
Cordless screwdriver
Step 1 – Remove base panel
Car roof signs have a hole in the centre of their base panel to allow them to be attached to a threaded stud magnetic mounting pad. To access the hole, you will have to remove the base panel of the sign.
The base panel can be removed with a cordless screwdriver by loosening the screws that are securing it to the roof sign.
Step 2 – Insert stud through hole
Insert the threaded stud through the hole on the base panel until the back plate of the threaded stud magnetic mounting pad and the base panel of the sign are touching.
Step 3 – Attach nylon lock nut
Place the nylon lock nut onto the threaded stud and turn clockwise until the threaded stud comes into contact with the nylon insert. Then, use a wrench to tighten the nut onto the threaded stud, until the nut cannot be tightened any further.
Step 4 – Screw base panel back on
Once the threaded stud magnetic mounting pad is attached, place the base panel back onto the taxi sign.
Use the cordless screwdriver to reattach the screws to the sign. The sign can now be attached to any ferromagnetic materials such as a car roof.
