Default Base insulator

Anyone know of a good way to build a base insulator for a Rohn 25G tower. We
were talking about putting up a guyed tower as a 1/2 lambda radiator on 40m.
We were thinking of connecting the base and rest of the toer together with
some fiberglass dowels. Also considered was making a mounting plate out of a
3 inch stack of polycarbonate sheets. Rotate the tower so it is offset from
the base and bolt the poly carbonate to the tower and base from opposite
sides. One od the guys thinks he can get some cermanic insulators made for
this but if that doesnt happen any thoughts would be appreciated.
