Good News -  Even if it doesn't match up exactly, that's what radiator hose clamps are for...... ......

 

 

[Disclaimer: The use of radiator hose clamps to fasten dissimilar communications tower sections together is dangerous and can lead to birds no longer having a place to perch when the tower falls over onto your residence.   ]

Hose clamps    nah   duct tape!    I don't know what it is   or even what my present one is   They haven't been delivered yet   (hoping it will be a day my wife is at work,   "them old things??"   lol)

Got it yesterday  looks good   still not sure of the brand...no tags or labels   fit of the other sections I have  might be tight   we shall see   now to start making stand off brackets

Stand-offs are easy. Go get a stick or two of unistrut from the local hardware store, some conduit (whatever you may need for antennas to clamp to) and the appropriate unistrut clamps (for clamping to the tower face). And if you need to side mount a DB antenna then you just use the appropriate strut clamp to clamp the antenna directly to the unistrut (both top and bottom if necessary) Works like a charm.
