• a mounting plate configured for being secured to the element to be mounted, the mounting plate having a center opening for receiving the mounting post, the mounting plate being freely movable along the mounting post;
• the mounting plate having an arm positioned on a side of the mounting plate, the arm being movably secured to the element to be mounted so the element moves with respect to mounting plate;
• an adjustment plate including a threaded opening to receive the mounting post, the adjustment plate configured to incrementally rotate on the threaded mounting post for adjusting the position of the adjustment plate along the mounting post;
• and
• the adjustment plate configured for being fixed to the mounting plate at a plurality of incremental positions of the adjustment plate to secure the mounting plate at a selected position along the mounting post and adjust the distance between the surface and mounted element.
