Abstract
A wire reinforced cast member is produced by providing inner and outer mold forms. At least one mounting projection of a wire reinforcement support member is supported in at least one opening in one of the inner and outer mold forms. A plurality of support members cooperate to support and substantially accurately position a wire reinforcement member, which member is mounted into support slots in the support member, which slots may snap-fittingly receive the wire reinforcement. The support members maintain the wire reinforcements in proper position during the introduction of the cast material. After the cast material has set, the cast member is removed from the mold. The support members have mounting portions which easily break away from the main body of the support members as the wire reinforced cast member is removed from the mold.
