Parker Mccrory 00910 Anti-Theft Mounting Bracket

Makes it easy to place any fence charger onto a tpost.

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. :)

Poor fit.

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.

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.

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.

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

Purchased this so I could mount my parmak fence charger on a t-post. Yes, I had to go out and spend a dollar on hardware which should have come with the bracket, but there is a label which very clearly specifies what is needed. Go to your local hardware store, as (ime) Lowes/Home Depot didn't have the specific hardware.My biggest complaint is that the bracket doesn't seat firmly on the post. Once the weight of the charger is added, the bracket can rotate on the top of the post unless I go out and get MORE hardware that may or may not lock it in place. If my charger wasn't solar and I didn't need it tonface due South, the thirty-ish degree rotation would not be a problem. To my knowledge, which is admittedly limited when it comes to nuts and bolts, there is not really a way to secure this to the post to prevent theft. The bracket attaches to the charger and then sets on the post. All someone would have to do is disconnect the wires and take the charger with the bracket. There is a set of holes to put something through, but I was unable to find anything that would deter theft.
