I couldn’t agree more. I think ALL tools should be removed from him, especially near the Moho.HE'S NOT ALLOWED TO MAKE ANYMORE HOLES Andy, now please behave yourself, you may enjoy it.
He IS the biggest tool.

I’m sure he’ll figure out a suitable solution. 
it does sound like a modification to the cupboard baton is looming.

- 11yrs, but many years a tugger.
Many, many , moons ago, about 40 years anyway, I watched my dad walk around a piece of 10ft of 10 x 4 mahogany for ages before he finally wound himself up to cut the mitre.

I've had one for about 5 years and it's had a very hard life and still works really well
I've been so impressed with it, I bought a cordless one as well

Madam, may I refer you back to my post #28 (it's not our fault, we're only men)
As such, the number of tools we men NEED is N + 1 where N is the number of tools we already have

Need does not equal plus one where X is the present number of tools ownedMadam, may I refer you back to my post #28 (it's not our fault, we're only men)
As such the number of tools we men NEED is N + 1 where N is the number of tools we already have
Need is +3(X) BUT IF cost =+£50 Need = +5X
I’d say it’s cause we’re sh*t at maths that we NEED so many tools....

He who dies with the most tools wins.
Should read 'A man always needs more tools'A man always need tools.
In my case more than one of individual tools makes it slightly easier to find what I need when I need it

I think I would have drilled a pilot hole from the inside out first...under supervision by the boss of course!
Ok, more than 24 hours without an update on progress. Did you resolve it? What did you end up doing?

Maybe he's not allowed internet access at the moment, or maybe he's still holding the ladder for Mrsambulancekidd

You could design a spacer in a CAD system like design spark mechanical if you take accurate measurements from that base piece with callipers and also include a profile for a cutout for the quadrant corner piece and the desired thickness and then 3D print the spacer in white PLA.
Anyone with a printer could print a spacer in about an hour and when fitted, it will look like it was designed to be that way rather than a bodge because of a slight measuring error.
The 3D printer is your friend.

So is this antenna designed to fit only one thickness of roof? The OP didn't mention that, so I would assumed the manufacturer would have accommodated different roof thicknesses into the design of the antenna. But perhaps not?

He isn't getting one...
I can report that he was making noise out there, including the vacuum cleaner.
I'm sure he will report in when I let him out of his cage.
Those cheese pasties can make a hell of a lot of crumbs, while your sat watching the telly, if your not carefull.
