Almost There!
So here are a couple of shots of the complete 4:1 balun, one from the top, the other from the bottom showing the so239 connector and silicone calking (which looks messy) to plug the wire holes for the ground connection to the connector.

Here is the antenna, made out of 2 inch vacpipe and tees for a built-in central vacuum system, vertical arms are about 6 foot long.
Reports when I finally load it up. I think I may have to add a couple of loading coils to get to 40 meters.

Here is the balun attached to its 3d printed mount hanging off the bottom of the antenna.
**Note** this 3d printed piece is brittle and one of the layers started to break away when I tightened the screws. Gorilla flue to the rescue... :/
