We just mounted a dish to a grain leg platform that had 90 degree sheet metal 
angle about 3 inches on a side.  Our usual method of pipe-to-pipe clamps or an 
MTOW-P would have deformed the angle.  I ended up using Sinclair CLAMP015C 
which are really nice but way too expensive.  They also have a CLAMP111 for 
larger angle.  The Sinclair parts are heavier duty than they look in the 
catalog.  Main downside (after price) is no adjustment to plump the pipe if the 
angle isn’t plumb.

Awhile back we mounted a 3 ft licensed dish to an old Long Lines tower, the 
angle iron was about 5 inches on a side and maybe 1/8 inch thick, plus it was a 
self supporter so the legs were sloped.  We used a Commscope (Andrew) clamp set 
for angle legs that did the job, it was just wide enough for the angle.

Can you give me the dimensions of the angle iron sides?  (thickness estimate 
too if possible)

We do. I think the all thread needs to be at least 10" due to the width of the 
angle iron.

  Who has an angle iron tower leg that needs a tower mount?
  I am going to add that option but need someone to test some prototypes.
