The Mimosa Fleximount is good for that.

Since the biggest tower we have is 5", I would like that.
On a somewhat related note, would anyone else be interested in a
smaller/lighter duty version of the M-TOW? they're overkill for a lot
of stuff we do... I'm thinking something like 3" max pipe and thinner
steel. I guess there wouldn't really be a lot of point unless it was a
fair amount cheaper... having lighter stuff to take up towers would be
nice in some cases, but that's probably not a good enough reason on
it's own.

Thanks.
One of my distributors is asking that I go from 4.5” to 5” pipe
ability on all my stuff. That is a pretty minor change and I will
probably do that.

That was me. The angle-iron leg deal I was talking about, I don't
actually need anything specifically designed for angle-iron, we
simply turn the back clamp inwards. Works perfectly fine. However,
like I said, the back side of the angle is about 5-3/4" if I
remember. That's the tower where we order clamp halves that are 7"
hole to hole center. A couple other examples that I can give...
Angle iron leg, 6-3/4", sloped. Round leg, 8-1/4", sloped. Angle
leg, 12-3/4", sloped. (old AT&T Long-Lines sites, big
mothertruckers from ground to 125 feet)
We're on so much different shit, we pretty much have to order what
we need for the particular site we'll be working at. And most of
the time on free-standers, the legs get smaller as you go up. So
we might need to put dishes at 100-140 feet and sectors at
240-260, which means two completely different sets of mounts for
one site.
I would say a model that can accommodate up to 4.5" OD and another
for 4.5 to 9" OD, sloped or not. For your 1-to-2 pipe arrangement,
most towers will fall in one of those two. For the big leg sites,
I'm not as worried since, as I mentioned, that's mostly for
mounting dishes lower.
We ordered I don't even know how many of these kits last year. 3'
HP dishes on 4.5" pipes adapted to 6" to 8" legs. Some angle, some
round. Some sloped, some not.

I have been asked to spin versions of my tower mounts that work
on angle iron legs. OK, done. Will be released soon for general
availability.
Now I am getting request for larger units that will fit a 5”
pipe. We currently will fit a 4.5” pipe.
If I spin a larger version, shall I go 6” or??? Someone recently
suggested 7” center to center on the bolts which would fit over a
6.5” pipe.
Are there some standard tower leg and mounting pipe increments I
need to look at?
