I'm looking for a u-bolt that allows for you to support a pipe from a pipe, anybody no where I can find one of these for a mast setup.

How about a "vent " pipe bracket? You can mount these to pipe "A" to support pipe "B" as long as your not talking about an extreme wind load,or you can use two pair? Radio scrap did carry these the last time I checked.

Good Point, but the masts (POLE A) that I want to support it to is only 1-1/4" diamter (so that kinda rules out the vent pipe mount unless their is one for 1-1/4 to 1 1/4.Weight bearing is not to much of issue, the antenna are about 5 lbs.

Ok,how about a 1/3/8" sleeve over the ouside diameter of the 11/4" mast with a couple bolts through it?
This way you would be able to tighten the bracket down on the outside of the sleeve?
Of course the best way would be to change out the mast to 1 1/2" mast.

Any links, I found the u-bolts I was looking for on comtelco website and tesseco, but I'm interested in your idea.

I'm thinking that if you mount two pair of vent brackets off of 1 11/2" pipe (all 4 inline with each other) It should work well.
