Aluminum Guidepost Stanchion Backup Plate
The Aluminum Guidepost Stanchion Backup Plate is designed to be the back half of an aluminum stanchion. Made from 1/4 in. thick marine grade 6061-T6 US aluminum. Features (2) mounting holes on the bottom that fit 1/2 in. hex head bolts and (1) top mounting hole that also fits 1/2 in. hex head bolts. The backup plate measures 11 in. long. Each flange measures 2 in.

Installation
