Hi Michael,

Both the bottom and top attach with *huge* clamps to the tower leg.  The 
bottom mount includes a spring that keeps the cable fairly tight and about 6 
inches off the tower leg.

The standoffs that came with the kit have a rubber end that the cable snaps 
in and out of and are mounted to the tower leg with clamps.  I haven't 
installed mine yet, the spring keeps the cable pretty tight.  So far I 
haven't noticed the cable banging on the tower.  Seemed like they might get 
in the way so I'll wait until after I get the current crop of antennas up to 
install them.

Here's a picture of the bottom mount on my tower -

And here's a picture of a standoff I haven't installed yet -
