Well, I pop-riveted all of the supplied pieces together and added a 1 x 1 aluninum angle across the bottom at the back. Mounting seems a lot more stable now. I'm studying the idea to mount these mounts on a sheet of 3/4" plywood and stake the plywood out in the yard. I'm in a rental house, so complicates matters some. There is about 1/4" of space between the panels when they are in their frame, so I'm going to use #10 bolts with some larger than normal diameter washers to lap over the panel frames. If I do this at the center of the panels where the top rail of the mount is, and at the bottom rail, i hope it will hold the panels adequately.
