bracket and parts help
 

hi

I will be putting up a small antenna soon, using a small mast mounted to
a brick wall.

Looking all over for a place that sells simple brackets, all i could
find was the cheep 8 steal plated small guage ones.



now i can't find any of the 'good' ones

any body know of a place where i can find them specifically , google
didn't help

many years ago radio shack had some nice heavy duty ones made out f
aluminum , i've also seen them in stainless


thanks

I've used the 12" brackets for a fairly heavy vertical antenna mast.

thanks bob, for the reply, but first thing i did was to goto radioshack,
and the stuff there, that you pointed out is all cheep thin guage, and
material that will rust solid after the coating wears off

anybody know a place where they sell some good commercial quality
wall mounting antenna brackets??


thanks to all

give me a yell. I think I can help you out.

Thanks, with Radio Shack, I was trying to find you someone local. If
you can order by mail, try this site for heavier galvanized steel
brackets:

thanks again for your help bob , not to sound ungreatful

but you'd think this was the easy part of gettng my antenna mounted :)

the new link you mentioned has 2 problems

their brackets are still steal, they will rust, i guess i should have
said i need the brackets to be either aluminum or stainless

any chance you know of a place that has those my usual places don't
carry them

the other bad thing about that site wich btw i tried, is that it has
a ton of dead links on it, and i contacted them to inform them ,and
didn't seem like they cared so didn't strike me as reputable

but i am greatful ---anyone out there know of a place that sells them?

thanks

One possible option is to check around at marine-supply companies.
They seem to have quite a few different stainless-steel antenna
mounting brackets of one sort or another. Rail-mount brackets seem to
be the most common, but stick-out-from-a-wall mast brackets are also
available.

http://www.naval.com/flanges/mast-mount-1.5/

"Make it out of stainless, call it marine-grade, and multiply the
price by 5" seems to be the usual approach.

One last suggextion -- a Google search for "Rohn wall brackets" brings
up a number of sellers -- the brackets are made of galvanized steel,
but it's the same stuff Rohn towers are made of, and I'm not aware of
any rust problems on their towers.
