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.
