Mounting Inverters That Have No Mounting Bracket Included?

How would you go about mounting an inverter like this that doesn't have the regular mounting bracket on the back of it like this one for example?

Is there something you can buy to help mount it, or do you have to create something?

How would I mount it? Hell, I would just throw it away, OK, super glue!

I would like to see the bottom of the thing but....

I would call McMaster Carr supply and buy a square sheet of 1/8" thick plate aluminum. Then I would make a bottom plate like this unit has. C'mon, get creative here.

Well I have an inverter similar to the one above that has no mounts, and yeah, I did get creative and made a contraption to hold it in place, but just wanted to double check that there are not any standard mounts available for these inverters that come with no mounts... I don't know why anyone would make them this way! At least put it on and then give me the option to take it off. I know my current old one doesn't have any ports on the bottom so you can mount it to something so I assume this is the same way.

Also, does Electro-Tech-Online give away support awards, as you definitely need one. Every post I make, Ron is there to help out lol. You have my vote!

You may be able to fabricate some strapping material or use a few small "L" brackets but I don't see a quick and EZ to it.

Yep I used "L" brackets for my current one.

Its the little black Star at the bottom of Ron's Avator..........

Use high quality nylon cable ties. I made a ceiling fan out of a 20" box fan once by hanging it from some trusses with four cable ties. It was used constantly for many years before we finally cut it loose to move it.

Make a flanged plate for the bottom.
