Question 1

Are the small ends where the U bolts go set at 90 degrees to the part extending from the Y bracket to create a flat surface to attach a flat board to?

Accepted Answer

Yes.  The smaller end flanges where the U-bolts attach are pretty much 90 to the main axis of the bracket.  The bracket is pretty heavy duty, but if you needed to a vise and adjustable wrench is all that is needed to adjust the angle to which you need.  So yes the two flanges make a flat surface to which you could attach a flat board to.

Question 2

With this product, is it required to bolt or attach in to chimney?  Also, is the 18 ft reported per roll, or total?

Accepted Answer

18 ft is per roll and raps around the chimney. There are two rolls. There are no instructions (which is sad)  so you just have to use your own judgment as to how to best install this antenna support.

Question 3

I just received this, I don't have instructions. Can someone please help.

Accepted Answer

First of all wear gloves when handling the strapping that goes around the chimney, the metal is sharp and will cut you at a glance.  Place the Y bolts on either side of the mount at the widest point. Before getting to chimney, slide the metal clip retainer on the strap with the ears closest to the Y bolt, slide the strap on the Y bolt then take the end and go through the retainer once, fold the strap back over the retainer and squeeze the clips down over the strap.  Repeat the process on the other Y bolt at the chimney.  The obvious thing to do with the U bolts is attach your mast to the mount once your have attached both assemblies to the chimney.  I hope this helps.

Question 4

Tightening the bolts, the clips slip so I crushed them down, now I need to relocate the antenna and need 4 more clips, can I get them from you?

Accepted Answer

These are Band-It clips
Pretty expensive as I don't know anyone selling less than 100 pieces.
