The elongate support portion has one or more support formation extending along its length, at least the one or more support formation is arranged on a plane at an angle to the securing plane of the one or more securing formation, such that, in use, when the securing portion is secured to the supporting structure, the one or more support formation is spaced from the supporting structure over at least a part of the length of the elongate support portion. A complementary locating member is also provided for use with the mounting device.
