I bought a 800Mhz yagi antenna that I mounted to a PVC pipe with an outside diameter of 1 7/8 inches using the two supplied U-bolts as an indoor antenna and it fits perfectly. However, there are a few frequencies I can't receive well so I want to put this antenna on the roof of my house pointed at the system with the frequencies I want to receive.
I have a TV antenna on my roof mounted on a mast that has an outside diameter of 1 1/4 inches that I would like to mount the 800 Mhz yagi on but the U-blots for the 800 Mhz yagi are of course too big. Rather than replace the mast (not even sure if the TV antenna would fit a bigger mast) is there some sort of a spacer I could wrap around the 1 1/4 inch mast and then mount the yagi to that? Thinking something like a square piece of rubber that would grip the mast as I tighten the yagi mount. It would have to withstand the weather too.
I have searched the internet and it seems no one has this issue. Channel Master makes a U-bolt with a nest assembly that looks like it would work except for the fact the U-bolt is only 1/1/4 inches across (from one threaded end to the other) but the U-bolts on my yagi are 2 1/4 inches wide.
I have attached 3 pictures of the antenna and the Channel Master U-bolt with nest assembly.
