 Hi Mark,
Although I don't have an aluminum tower, using a stainless steel u-bolt system 
is another method how you can attach wiring to any round leg tower. Please 
check this link and scroll half way down the page.

 I can't seem to get a good answer ( even from Alumatower ) on how to ground an 
aluminum tower.
I have a T50H on an MP2.  I have already installed  #2  tinned copper running 
out 45 ft with 3 10 ft ground rods cad welded on each leg.
But how do you actually transition from copper wire  to  the aluminum  tower ? 
Also, should the MP2 hinge  be bridged with copper braid ? Once again, the 
issue of the copper braid connecting to the aluminum.

tnx
