Lateral thinking...
Metal "L-brackets" from the hardware store say Zenith 50x50 or 75x50 or even 100x75 galvanised angle bracket attached to the mast using worm drive hose clamps with something like "yellow tongue" (have seen it at Bunnings as electricians use it to pull cabling through walls [it is cheaper than the fibreglass rods etc]) or poly pipe or other UV stable plastic sitting on the bracket and fastened with a another worm drive clamp. Now we have an arm at 90degrees to the mast. Slot the end of the plastic and slip in the ribbon sealing the slot with silicone or a cable tie.
You could even slip the poly pipe over the bracket arm and drop a screw/nut through to fix in place. Paint the poly to reduce UV degradation.
Worm drive hose clamps can be opened up and wrapped around the mast then screwed closed plus they come in a fantastic range of sizes.
Have fun with it...
