can this be mounted over a 3x3 inch steel post, using shims or gap filler to secure ?

Yes it could, with right size shims, BUT DON'T BUY THIS ITEM, THE mild SUMMER HEAT caused to the plastic to deform, after one month the box was leaning forward, NO CUSTOMER SERVICE, Buy anything else or you will be sorry

It would be tough as it would be hard to center. Maybe if the shim was the entire length - Maybe...Tough to do brother.

Not really. We mounted it on top of a 4"x4" post. The hidden mounting (to keep thieves from stealing the whole box) is on the bottom, which is flat.

Yes it can. I just finished installation yesterday and it is working fine. You need to move your pivot point closer to the post instead of 5 and 8 inches as they suggest in a manual. By the way I have double gates push to close.

1/2" should do fine, will leave about 1/8" clear. If your gate post clearance is less than that, you could recess the post bracket by chiseling a slot, maybe get by with 1/4" or 3/8". Remember to leave little extra room though, post swell up when it rains.

3/4" is plenty of thickness for this setup. It is heavy so use a lot of screws to keep in place.

If the mounting hole lines up with a stud you will have to provide your own screw or in my case a 1/4 lag bolt. If there is hollow space behind the mounting hole the provided hardware will suffice and is quite sturdy.

There are 2 screws that tighten and secure the cap to the post so by using longer screws it should work.

Yes it can. It comes with a bracket that you can attach to to either a wood or steel post. The steel post is sold separately and is made to attach to that mailbox. If you looking for a good secure mailbox set up I would recommend you the steel post too.

Not quite sure of your question.Are you talking about the aluminum posts I mounted it on?Please let me know I will try to help you out.

I don's see why that would not work. You have to slide the post cover over a post.

Hi Dave, I plan to place/pull my part directly from above. The black rubber hold down will over hang the four bolt base 1/2" if screwed all the way in. There is plenty of adjustment to create the clearance at the full range of clamp thicknesses on the one I bought.

Absolutely. The clamp itself is square (made of two right angles) and I think the screws are long enough to accept up to 1-1/4" or 1-1/2". Mine is a 1/2" square pole and it clamps all the way down, so you can't really go thinner than that unless you use shims and thats probably not a good idea, anyway. Actually It will work on any shape up to (and maybe even a bit over) 1" in diameter as the clamps are self-centering.

The interior dimensions are a 1 inch by 1 inch wide opening with about 2 1/2 inch depth. It's deep enough so a slightly smaller diameter post will fit with a shim and not wobble. Works just fine.

I have not yet mounted it, just came the other day. It looks like 3/8 bolts or lag screws would work well. I did not measure the mounting hole, but they are larger than 3/8. Be sure to look at other comments and product reviews. This is a quality vise, but the specs are not accurate as listed on Amazon.

As best as I can tell, without taking off the unit, the post on which I have it installed is 3"

I mounted mine on a standard 3 inch octagonal box with an adapter. If you unscrew the plate on the end, your local ace hardware guy can show you the box to use!

Looks like the physical limit is 3", over that you'd run into the shank. Never tried anything near that thick though.
