I used the mounting plates from ROHN They had the proper clearance for 
saddle clamps, but came with U-bolts. With U-bolts they required 1/8" 
shims on each leg.

I now make my own.  Depending on how pretty you want them and whether 
you want them hot dipped galvanized they can be easy to make with a 
torch/plasma cutter and drill press.  You can make them out of flat 
plate and weld on 2" steel angle  for the U-bolts. it'd be nice to have 
a place close by that did hot dip galvanizing.
