A one-piece base mounting plate is provided which includes a central base plate section, a forwardly bent section and a forwardly projecting section extending from the forwardly bent section subjacent to the central base plate section. A pair of aligned perforations formed through the central base plate section laterally adjacent to the forwardly projecting section may be provided.
