. I want to hang it where the bud sign is.

I don't know the weight. This is the best location, it will be about 4 ft from the traffic light. I just need some ideas how to hang it

The inside measurement is 1 3/4

Don't ask.
Insert a bolt or threaded rod in the top, nut/washer inside of it. Put a backer plate in above the ceiling. You can remove that Tee fitting from the top of it, and use a length of pipe to set the height where you want it.

Grind off those serrations on the top and bottom collar and weld up a bracket that sits vertically. Access to bolt would be tight without some back space.

If that's too much trouble drill out one of those bolt holes and hang it from a chain or pipe and through bolt it.

will a 11/2 black iron threaded ******, thread into the top?

I don't know at this point.
I've put pipe wrenches on the top part that holds the arm, no luck. Steel pipe into aluminum. The bottom arm will have to be cut off, it won't budge either.

55 bigblock Thanks. I just had a massive brain fart about how to do this.
