I contacted Allen at Max-Gain and he said he would provide 2ft pieces for $20 plus shipping if you mention this article.
I made the base by first cutting the angle to 2 ft pieces, drilling the holes where the coupling fits as mirror images, bolting these together and then drilling the holes to mount to the 4x4. Keep all holes co-linear. Next drill the 4x4 to match the 3/8" holes in the angle, and then drill the orthogonal holes in the 4x4 for the 1/4" bolts. Next drill the coupling in place using the angle's as a guide. Next drill the PVC spacer and the 2 ft fiberglass. I drilled from each side, but made sure everything was square and centered.
The Aluminum was slotted with a hacksaw, and de-burred, and joined with Pentrox grease.
The hose clamps were installed on the fiberglass pole from the bottom up. First all joints were taped. Next all clamps below the coil were installed, but no clamps above. The coil was installed on 5th section near the top. I measured wires and attached them to the top and bottom of the coil prior to it's installation onto the mast . The coil was installed on the mast and hose clamps were tightened to keep it in place then the remainder of the clamps were installed. The wires were then secured at each section keeping them equilateral around the pole.
