Where can I find a decent kit for mounting an antenna to a chimney?

Because I can't find anything that doesn't use the same exact stock image copy and pasted over and over again, with reportedly varying quality, and almost none of them even contain shims or plates for the corners of the chimney.

I would've used pic related t-style brackets, but any listing I've found of this doesn't even have a way to tighten the steel straps to the chimneys.

OP here.

I've seen t-style brackets with a ratchet system built onto them before, so you don't need to own steel strapping tools, but I can't even find any other t-style brackets except from like a couple places selling this same exact one, but yet, the y-style is everywhere. I don't know why it's so hard to find something so simple.

It's a really big TV antenna I need it to support.

I don't know if this can be better tightened than steel straps to the chimney without it sliding around or damaging the chimney.

>damaging the chimney.

That's the bigger risk IMO. I've never had a real brick chimney so I couldn't tell you

It might even be easier to just buy steel strapping tools, all my neighbors appear to have their antennas attached to their chimneys with steel straps anyway, and some setups are over 50 years old.

You know why I can't find brackets with ratchets built in? My guess is there was probably one company that had a patent for them, and they're probably out of business now.
