Giant bubble levels

I mounted a Wheel Masters "Master Level" to a thick rectangle of plexiglass and then used two of the large 3M magic adhesive strips for wet locations and for the last 7 years it has been fine. I did put some sealant around the edge of the plexiglass to hold it better. The thick plexiglass was necessary to melt the nuts into the plastic so the back was flush and could be mounted with the adhesive strips and not have the nuts sticking out from the plastic.

Larry,
Post a pic..this sounds really good and I'm a visual learner
Thanks.

The one picture I have doesn't show the details and I can't take a new picture since the level is currently mounted and you can't see the back. The Wheel Masters level is aluminum with 4 holes at the corners for mounting and I needed something to have a basis for the adhesive strips so that's where the plexiglass came in. The plexiglass needed to be flat on the side with the adhesive strips and to get a flat surface I took some nuts and melted them into the plastic and then mounted the Wheel Master level to the plexiglas. Once the level was mounted I filed down the screws flush with the nuts and surface of the plexiglass so I has a smooth surface to mount to the front of of my trailer (smooth ABS molded cap).
