The hardest part is working out a mounting piece. I came up with two versions, so I'll share the easiest one. I did it by using an "el" bracket

from the hardware store. I drilled it out with a step bit



so that I could fit a an electrical box hole protector


 in the bracket. This I put in the bracket from underneath. I threaded

a 1/2" FPT PVC coupler

onto that from above the bracket. This serves two purposes, to insulate the antenna from the bracket, and to form a means of connecting the antenna to the bracket mount.

I used a brass 1/2" MPT x 1/2" compression fitting

to set the bottom shaft onto the PVC coupler.

the rest of the parts are illustrated on this photo post link:
