Left This is the content's of the box that arrived (including the tilt kit) but no mast, a quick phone call to the carrier to discover it was to BIG for their truck and would arrive in the afternoon on a special delivery which it did.
Warning: it is VERY heavy and nearly 20' long.
You will need to purchase some 10mm Rawl bolts, if you buy the tilt kit you will need to get ten in total maybe fourteen depending on how you fit the tilt to the floor, I used 5" coach bolts as I was going into wood, without the tilt kit you need just four.
Left is the top of the mast where you can bolt your alloy pole up to 50mm (2 inches in diameter) and a max length of 1.8mtrs (nearly 6ft)
Right is the bottom of the mast with the tilt plates fitted, though the instructions say fit the mast with these on I found they got in the way and fitted them afterwards.

Left is the 10mtr adapt-a-mast which was very well wrapped with blocks of wood protecting the various parts that stuck out.
Right is where I was measuring out the floor to get an idea of where the mast would stand.
Left is a close up photo of the tilt wall bracket.
Right is the main mast winch which is exactly the same as the tilt winch.
Left & Right
Lifting the mast was the biggest problem as it's so dam heavy, but with a bit of thought and extra help we raised it by lifting it a step at a time on the ladder, lucky enough I was able to make use of my old aerial mast brackets by fastening the top of the mast to these to hold steady while we made sure the mast was level and then drilled the holes for the rawl bolts and stand off brackets to fit.
Left The mast and fixing to the decking now in place, the wooden base is bolted to the decking and secured via 5" coach bolts into the joist at either side and the tilt brackets are bolted to this I have still to sort out the cable's and get myself a beam.
Right A photo of the finished installation, done on a rainy Saturday afternoon though looking at the sky you wouldn't have thought so... I have yet to replace the decking fence as of course this had to be removed to lower the mast. (Note the dodgy neighbours TV aerial)
Below are some images of the mast fully raised, and also one in the tilt position.
(Middle one is new with the beam on)
