Re: Watertown Mount
We went to a fab shop and had something built that looked like the cell phone mounts, it attached around the vent cap on top. I will try to find some pictures of them. The legs are then epoxied down to the tower. The epoxy works very well, this is what it is designed for. You only have to clean the area where you are actually putting the epoxy - so you do not damage the paint on the tower. DO NOT DRILL HOLES IN A WATER TOWER TOP!!! You will be opening a can of worms that you can't close.

| You still need a good grounding point and for that, you need to go down to bare metal. If there is a vent that you can get even a single guy/ground wire to, you could use it as a hold-down for a tripod.
There is available, green thermoplastic stuff used primarily in the pipeline industry as a dielectric anti-corrosion coating that you apply over jeeps with a torch. The stuff works better than hot glue and can be resoftened if need be. It is also marketed for boat repair. You can use it to cover the grounding point, probably best cad-welded. If you have a centre hold-down guy, you could hot glue down the tripod legs. |
