I need to make 25 metal frame type signs. I need a way to make an arrow that can be changed direction easily. My thought would be something like a grommet that can be used to hold the arrow to the sign but could be turned and would hold position. (something like the small signs in store fronts with a clock that says "will be back at" then has a clock with adjustable small arrows.) I could make the sign either out of aluminum or maybe a polystyrene or similar material to the thicker store bought preprinted "for sale" signs.
Can any one tell me a way to do this please?
Also I would like a easy way to attach or detach an additional sign either on top or below the main sign that I could change on a regular basis. Any Ideas and sources would be a big help.
Thanks for the help, Wayne Marcinkoski

Thanks for the help Glenn. I am not sure how well steal would work here in Florida.
I think the rider panel frame will work for some of what I want though. If anyone has a good source for a rider panel frame I could use it.
I have 25 signs to make and am thinking of screen printing them as opposed to vinyl. Any thoughts as to preference for this number of signs with about five or six words each. Also I would think that screened signs would take more abuse also?
Thank you Bruce for the rider panel frame idea as I was not familiar with the term but able to do a search and find some info.
This site is great and I value the input I get here.
