OT - need help with key holder

I looked in the Shop Manual but can't find anything to describe mounting this.

Cool gift from my wife's sister's family.

It's going into the shop somewhere where I can find room on a wall.

You can't find anything because your manual is for an F4 and that is a F1.

I had trouble getting mine to mount flush with the wall using screws. I ended up gluing it.

I knew it must have been something I was doing wrong.

I was thinking of using flathead screws. We'll see what happens.

Mine is from Hobby Lobby, and it's the only one they show as a "truck key rack".

I might have to settle for an F-1

They're on sale now for 1/2 price.

John wants to tell the wife about it so he can get more parts for his 56. That is a great price, Joe.

You can use flathead screws, but if you can find some Ardun screws instead, it'll go a lot faster and totally up the cool factor.

Hobby Lobby say it includes 2 "keyhole" hangers. If you used those, you wouldn't have to drill any holes. Check the inside for any bosses to attach the hangers to.

OK, for clarification, there are two slotted mount holes in the back of my key holder. Shouldn't be a problem mounting it, really. I was responding to JPMallory about his comment that he had to glue his to the wall.

I don't know what Ardun screws are, so I Googled it. Now I get your joke Wayne.
