Best Way To Mount A Number Board?

The map button and two LEDs are just held in place with silicone, they just pop out of the original mount.

 

I made a bracket out of an right angled piece of plastic (made from the edge of an old plastic box), drilled out holes along the top for the button and LEDs.

I think the button is around 11 or 12mm and the LED's 4mm.

 

I hot glued them in to the new bracket from underneath and used a couple of small, counter sunk bolts and nuts to bolt it to the back of a normal number board, close to the top edge.

Used a black number board, black plastic and black counter sunk bolts, so it all looks rather neat. (well it would have if I managed to get the bolt head level!)

 

The map button's body isn't totally round, there are a couple of lugs either side to stop it rotating in the hole, just needed to carefully file out two slots in the hole to make it fit flush.
