you might try Tashhjian@MSN.com.  Karl Tashjian  559-495-0307.  He has an ad on 
page
180 (bottom left hand corner of the page) in the December 2001 QST about having
accessories, bases, tilt over accessories, etc. for Tri Ex towers. I didn't see 
a web
page listed though.

I've got a WT51 and plans, etc, but I'm sure the cable specs are different for 
the
HD354.  In fact I'm looking for an extra base for my WT51 in case XYL (WY5H) 
and I ever
move and we decide to get a larger tower, I'll need a base to sell with the 
tower.

Have a Merry Christmas, I'm sure steel cable was not something you were wanting 
under
the tree on Tuesday morning.
