[QUOTE="RichDoyle, post: 1407038, member: 84694"] As I said, I had an older one I never mounted lying around, so I gave it a try and mounted it. The force required to pull the mounting hole up snug is significant, probably something like 7 lbs. each side, though I didn't put a scale to it. The amount of flex per side is about 3/8". The screen has considerable flex, so it does mount. But it does so by being bent across the cross-brace, where CS says to put electrical tape in the brace so it isn't rubbing metal-to-shield. They do supply stainless steel screws, but the heads actually have a smaller diameter than the nylon ones. Were I to install it for real, I'd put nylon washers under those heads, as this metal-to-plastic area is less than with the plastic screws. The thing is, whatever force the screws impose on the mounting holes, it is [I]double[/I] (actually, the sum of the two side forces) against the cross-brace. I guess it works, though, as others here seem satisfied. [/QUOTE]
