If you remove the "blue line" segment in the model, when it comes to actually making the antenna the only part of a metal mounting bracket that would be attached would be the mast. You could simply isolate both sides of the basket from the mounting bracket like you did with the feed point side in your last build. If you used a non-conducting bracket, you could simply put the two sides of the feed line between the mast and the side of the basket that does not contain the upper vertical element.

I'm curious to the "significant capacitive component" you are referring to, specifically related to the "rg11 hat". My models do tent to show that this antenna's feed point does tend to be capacitive most of the time, but you lost me on the "rg11 hat".
