Description: This is a True Genuine Vintage New Old Stock Parking Meter Wedge/Shim Kit with fitted aluminum 2-1/2" Extension. It will work efficiently on most standard Meters from the 1950s on up for such Manufacturers as Duncan, P-O-M (Park-O-Meter) and MacKay. It will work well on single or double meter heads. The only thing you actually need is 2" INSIDE DIAMETER pipe. I cannot emphasize the "Inside Diameter" Strong enough because anything will not work (already made that mistake). On youtube there is a wonderful video put out by Roger Wolf on using this kit. It is entitled "How to Install A Parking Meter on a Pole". I sure wish the computer and you tube was around many years ago when I was trying to figure this (sh)kit out. It took me nearly 2 years and several conversations with various Municipal/DPW workers to figure it out. The Kit is actually very simple to use, but having someone verbally explain it vs. an actual demonstration makes all the difference in the world. The video is self explanatory. As shown you may need a different washer depending upon the manufacturer of the unit you are mounting. This is a heavy Duty Speciality Hardware Kit that has never been used. This is a 6 piece kit that includes Bolt, Washer, Three Wedges, a special Trident Nut and a silver painted extension, The extension offers a classy/cleaner appearance as opposed to just dropping the meter directly into a pipe. You will need access to the inside (bottom portion) of your meter in order to use this hardware. You must first thread the bolt through both the base and the extension, then tighten the bolt from within the meter cavity. The ingenious principal is that as you are tightening the bolt from inside the meter base, the wedges crawl up the flat surfaces of the base until they catch the inside of the 2" pole or pipe. Municipalities across the USA have been mounting parking meters to poles in this manner for many decades. For Collectors, you only need a small ratchet to tighten it up for man or chick cave garage display. Municipalities used large torque wrenches to prohibit "Cool Hand Luke" types from stealing the meters off the street. Rare Old School Knowledge is power. Simplicity at its finest. This is Offered at a bargain Price. If you are restoring a parking meter and are looking for an NOS Shim Kit -Here it. The Aluminum Extension is a bonus. Perfect for those that collect Parking Meters or Retro-refurbish such items into banks, lamps, and so on. Scarce Roadside Transportation Hardware at a price you can afford. Kit weighs 2 lbs unpacked. Shipping $8.50 USPS Ground anywhere in the USA. Additional will be required for shipping outside the USA. Another Great Deal for somebody out there!
