The wecam mount is made of two basic things:
1. Plumber's hanger iron. It's sometimes called Plumber's Tape, but don't confuse this with teflon sealing tape. Hanger iron is available at any hardware store in the plumbing section. It is simply a roll of sheet metal that's about 1.5 cm wide, .5 mm thick, and maybe 3 meters long, and it has holes punched into it every cm or so. You will only need about 30 cm of it, but a roll of it can be had for under $3, and it can be used for lots of things.
Electrical tape. This is for padding the metal and covering any sharp edges.
You will need a hammer and a decent-sized set of pliers for bending the hanger iron. The pliers pictured here are Vise-Grip locking pliers, but any set of pliers will do.
