I'm putting together a used A4 with a 40 meter add-on kit for the
Florida QSO Party this weekend. Cushcraft assembly instructions are not
as clear as some others I have used. Does the 40 meter "X" hat mount
under a hose clamp or am I missing the piece(s) that secure the "hat" to
the element?

That's a good question. According to this assembly document:

http://www.cushcraft.com/support/pdf/A743_451.pdf

There doesn't seem to be a hole for any type of bolt to attach it to the element. Is there a hole on part 157 (Formed aluminum bracket)? It doesn't show a hose clamp for that fitting either. I would say, improvise :)
