**Product Update**

We have improved our popular Hookmount bracket (P/N 1029). The older version (shown above) will no longer be available as of June, 2020. The new, revised model will come with four (4) equidistant mounting holes, rather than three (3), giving it four-direction mounting versatility.

Form
The new bracket’s chemical and physical properties are identical (same material).

Fit
• The new inside geometry of the “hook” portion is identical – and the lower section “bend” of the new Hookmount flares toward the base an extra 3/16” for added strength and stability.

• The four mounting holes are equidistant at 1-7/8” for easy, versatile mounting on all PAC toolboard extrusions.

Function
The bracket is designed to perform the same functions – but, with improved mounting versatility via. additional mounting holes.
