[TowerTalk] UNI-KIT flavor and fastening

am-tower-tk.html&category=yes&cart_id=7132263_14223 with a stainless piece
such that you can "sandwich" the copper tail between two layers of stainless
and attach to TUBULAR legs - Steve can elaborate if needed.  Like you, I was
also challenged to attach things to my Glen Martin tower's angle legs.  With
the Polyphaser UNI-KIT, I ended up using the hose-clamp style connectors
from Champion and just tightening it as best I could around the angle leg.
Steve also has some "angle adapters" that just clamp the item of choice to
the leg, but I didn't like it for my installation.  GL
