I've bought an aerial for my old van. This has a bracket to fit it on a pole. I'm doing things on a cheap budget and don't want a permanent aerial fitted to my old van. I have a suitable pole, but how can I fix the pole to the ladder on the back doors of my van? Someone directed me towards 2 or 3 x vision plus brackets but at a tenner each this is too much for fittings. Please advise. Thanks.

Powerfix do cable ties that undo easily (did I see them on Dragons Den or like?). They are really usefull I have just put up a gazebo single handedly and they were invaluable to hold the bits together before ready for the bolts Especially as it is just about past its sell by date and a little bent in places!  

I wouldn't be without bungee straps either.

I have a couple of these: /www.roadpro.co.uk/product/01b04-aerial-mounting-installation-products/u-clamp-pole-mounting-bracket-d1706/D1706 - going spare. Would post to you but there doesn't to be any private message facility on the forum to give address details. See you're Cumbria, I will be in the Lake District  in October!
