Abstract
A kit for mounting electric motors, refrigerant tanks, and the like, on a support surface has a clamp including a strap embracing an article to be mounted. Support brackets, each having an upstanding leg portion and a depending base portion, are provided with suitable apertures and slots in the leg portion for selectively receiving the strap in such a manner as to appropriately and adjustably mount the article on an associated support surface. Each leg portion is constructed in two pieces, a lower section and an upper section adjustably attachable to the lower section, with the sections either being used together or separately to make possible a particular installation.
