Dan and all.

Max Gain Systems sells fiberglass for quads spreaders. They also have a 
quad tips section of the website where they explain using small air 
hose, a small length of copper tube and a hose clamp to attach quad 
elements to spreaders. No drilling of the fiberglass. I think anytime 
you drill fiberglass tube you've just set the failure point. It will 
crack and fail or cut the wire over time.

There was a VE6 who put one of those monsters on a crank-u[ tower on a 
city lot. I believe he built the antenna on scaffolding and lifted it 
with a crane.
