If the antenna has not yet been assembled, take the flange on the bottom and test fit it over the 1 1/2 inch pipe. I put mine on 1 1/2 inch steel pipe and it fits. Once you get the flange over the pipe, drill two holes through the flange and pipe and insert two bolts through the holes. Remove the flange and assemble the antenna then reinstall the flange over the pipe and reinstall the bolts.

If the 1 1/2 inch pipe is too big, build/buy a reducer to take the size down to 1 1/4 inch and repeat the process above.
