[QUOTE="Frogman Ladue, post: 272311, member: 8253"] I used a chunk of scrap 2x2 for the block, attached it to the float with 2 drywall-to-steel stud anchors, some RTV to seal it, and a 29cent "broom hanger clip" mounted via sealed rivits, to hold the shaft portion. When said and done, I had realised that that sheet metal float box was hollow and the top was split open at the seam. So, I put too much time and money into the project to keep the float water tight when all along, the float was bad. It has been since filled with expansion foam. Walldog fastener used....the'll allow you to pretty much hang anything from steel stud...in this case, a sheet metal box [img]https://www.homedepot.com/catalog/productImages/300/07/07f76d92-4417-4cf2-b5fb-07690b73d37e_300.jpg[/img] The clip was something to the affect of this....
