My question dealt with a peak roof mount, not a housebracket.
I seem to remember mentioned on this forum several years ago an alternative to
the Rohn mount that had a much wider range of adjustments. Cant find it in a
search tho.
Yes, Im cognizant of the hazards with welding through galvanizing as I am a
certifed welder. But Im glad that you mentioned it as I keep reading horror
stories of people getting poisoned by the fumes and also dust from grinding.
Always good to keep the alerts current.

Rather than cobble up something from scratch I wonder if there is an
available product or specs on building one. The Rohn PR25G would require
some modifications even if I could find one at a reasonable price.
I own and am quite experienced with a MIG so fabrication is just a matter
of
time if I really want to get it done. Im basically lazy!
You could certainly modify an existing housebracket but be careful of
any welding with the hot dipped galvanizing in place. No, there isn't a
modifiable housebracket available or any specs.
It might be easier to fabricate the bracket specifically for your
application. Just take a drawing to a local welding shop and they'll put one
together for you. Get some nuts and bolts and
U-bolts and you're in business.
Tony, K1KP wrote a very good article on housebracketing some years ago.
It's worth reading to see what the real engineered solution is.
