My older brother bought our parents a Sirius tuner for their new Sirius ready receiver, and after deciding on the best/most convenient location for the antenna, it was obvious that some sort of mount was needed to attach said antenna to the soffit. Dad (duaneb55) is mostly responsible for this project, but he must have had an extra screw loose because he let me use the Hypertherm Powermax 350 and MM200 :dizzy:
Pops made the material/piece selections, measuring/marking, grinding, and fit-up. I'd step in occasionally to mess everything up with either the plasma or mig . . . depending on whether something needed to be jaggedly cut or covered in useless spatter :gunsfirin
This one is going to take two posts so hold on to your britches
The antenna base with the foil cutaway so it can be removed. Apparently it's made in some country I've never heard of :angry:

Base plate removed . . . those are some tiny torx screws holding it together :dizzy:

All the pieces cut and ready to be cleaned up

The antenna base attached to the 2"X3"X1/4" angle with self tapping screws. Forgot to get an underside shot to show the holes drilled so that the base can be reattached to the antenna

2"X2"X1/4" angle ready to be tacked to the 4"X5"X1/4" plate. The plate will be secured to the soffit with 4 lag screws.
