Claim 10:
11. A method of mounting an object to a structure, the method comprising:
providing a mounting bracket comprising:
a body having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a first mounting hole passing therethrough and located between the first end and the second end;
a first resilient wing located at the first end of the body;
a second resilient wing located at the second end of the body; and
a tab protruding from a first edge of the body and located between the first end and the second end, the tab having a second mounting hole passing therethrough;
wherein the first resilient wing and the second resilient wing each extend upward from the body and are biased toward each other such that the first resilient wing and the second resilient wing are configured to grip and secure the object to the mounting bracket;

providing a stopper comprising an upper portion, a lower portion, and a central hole passing through the upper portion and the lower portion, the central hole has an upper diameter in the upper portion and a lower diameter in the lower portion, the upper diameter is greater than the lower diameter, the lower diameter is equal to a diameter of the first mounting hole of the body;
aligning the central hole of the stopper with the first mounting hole of the body;
positioning the mounting bracket on the structure;
inserting a first fastener through the central hole of the stopper and the first mounting hole and into the structure to secure the stopper to the body and to partially secure the mounting bracket to the structure;
inserting the object between the first resilient wing and the second resilient wing;
rotating the mounting bracket about the first fastener to position the object in a desired orientation;
removing the object from the first resilient wing and the second resilient wing;
inserting a second fastener through the second mounting hole and into the structure to fully secure the mounting bracket to the structure; and
reinserting the object between the first resilient wing and the second resilient wing to secure the object to the mounting bracket.
