I used CS125 studs. They are 1.25in base diameter with a 1/4-20 by 1in long threaded and I double nutted them. A simple locknut would be a bit cleaner. Probably should cut the protruding stud flush but I got lazy. Obviously you could go shorter but these are most popular size/length and Electrical Hub always has stock of these.

Yep - I ran by our local Fastenal and bought some locknuts and it worked GREAT! The guys at the store were also really interested in that "weird fastener" that I was using and I mentioned they should be selling them!

Very cool. Well done installations. I'm probably the last person on TBN to learn about this product. Code54 and Dragoneggs, thanks to both of you for this.

Glad you like it and thank you - Dragoneggs turned me on to these and I love the product!

Actually Fastenal does purchase Click Bond product but I believe it is for specific customer/applications... not stocked for the walk in customer.

So the question boils down to... where is the best place for us TBN members to buy 2 or 4 click bonds for this mirror mount? And adhesive, too, I guess.

You mentioned the Flight Shop, and they have them, but any place that wants an RFQ instead of giving a price doesn't want to deal in 1s and 2s.

edit: I found their page with individual part pricing. They will probably do after all:
The Flight Shop Click Bond

But their adhesive page is very difficult to navigate - what does one actually need to install 4 studs?

Dragoneggs is the expert so I would defer to him for a much better answer that I can provide. I bought the little Click Bond packs that have the rip and squeeze "glue" packets that are pre-measured and they worked out great. I did 3 mounts for another project on one packet and I seem to recall there being a little left over but as I said Dragoneggs is the man to ask.

Try electricalhub.com. You can do it with one or two little adhesive packs. Check their website but call them to order.
