sandwich the flat feedline between two pieces of plastic (pref UV
resistant) - bolts those two pieces against one another so that this
entire sandwich can now be suspended - if you have a traditional ceramic
cente insulator secure the sandwich to it by going around the center
insulator with some form of a strap - - a pair of X-HD cable wraps would
work nice - they would pass through slots in your sandwich - make the
slots as far apart as possible....
...that is one approach....
