Answer This Question
A: It slides over the bracket post, and gravity holds it down. I used a little brake grease on the post so that it spins easily.

Not as pictured, but still strong
The 2x2 inch plate on top of the base you see in the picture is not really there. I think the original may have had this extra support plate, but the new unit I just received from HD had the pipe welded directly to the base. The positive is that this is actually a heavy duty steel base. It comes with 4" bolts to hold it to the roof. The pipe opening is 3/4"ID so I imagine it will fit any Good Directions weather vane. The 3/4 pipe has two small bolts that tighten down onto the weather vane pole to keep it from coming out of the pipe.
I wanted to do something different, so I rebuilt a windmill weather vane from the garden. It weighs three times the amount of a large copper weather vane and sits 23" high and 36" long. The base is still able to handle this design. Because it is placed on a copula with a 3/12 pitch, I had to bend the legs flatter, then bolt through the roof into a 2x10 wood plate inside the attic. I placed the legs in a N/W by S/E direction since most of the wind comes from that direction, although I don't think it will matter since the legs are wide and long.
I would suggest buying this more expensive unit rather than trying to cut cost. I have a feeling that friends will want my advice going forward and I will suggest the heavy duty mount. It can be bent to meet any roof pitch, just add some shingle asphalt goo or metal roof sealant goo when installing.
