Tom et all.....
Yes, I have done this before. I wonder if it is better to cut the ONE
horizontal brace or one of the diagonal brace. I've done this two ways.
I've cut out the botton rung and I have cut the rung where the horizontal
and diagonal rung attached to the tower leg...bent it out...out in the
rotor...and then used a hose clamp to put it together again. Like a hose
clamp is going to hold! After doing that...I felt rather stupid. Went to a
u-bolt rig that was just as LAME!
Is there a way to do this without cutting anything???
Thanks for the advice and opinions. Remember, opinions are OK.
