Contact DX Engineering. They have boom/mast adapter that will work
nicely with your beam.
They also have a very good 4:1 balun and the necessary hardware to mount
it to your boom. I used both on my KT34XA along with the boom support.
The original boom/mast adapter is less that it should be. The DX
Engineering adapter is much more robust.
Check it out.

Jeff, You can easily make a 15 meter balun out of a half wave piece of
coax loop back with one side of the coax going to the feed point and the
other to the other side feed point. All the braids are tied together.
Just Google 4:1 coax balun.

I recently picked up a KLM six element 15 m beam on a 36 foot boom the
gentleman I got the antenna from said he believed the balun was no good .
The balun is listed as a Mirage/KLM 3-60-4:1 5kw balun.
I was curious if anyone had any experience with this antenna or knew of a
Balun that would be a good substitute. I’m also not sure what the 3-60
means.
I’m thinking of refurbishing it if it seems worthwhile. At the least I’ll
need mounting plate and clamps the boom is 3”.
I have the manual but it doesn’t go into any detail on the balun.
Any info would be appreciated.
