There are kits which can easily be copied, or you can use bulkhead
connectors. I use a trrip of 1 1/4" X 1/8" Aluminum angle drilled for
the bulkhead connectors and bracketed to two tower legs using saddle clamps.
The grounding kits are a bit more efficient at the grounding but more
work to install. They offer a nice transition to the tower leg without
a bunch of angles and do not add a pair of potential leak points like
connectors would do. Of course they take more work to seal to prevent
leakage into the shield.
