After quite a bit of delay, I am back to refurbishing a 57' Aermotor 3
legged windmill tower (model MP-5 I believe) and have a couple of questions:
1) During disassembly, several of the 1/4" round braces got bent (If you're
not familiar with this type of tower, these are very flexible/bendable).
They were quite tight before being bent and will be a real chore to put back
on. I am trying to figure out a method to stretch/straighten them into place
during assembly. Does anyone have any tips?
2) The tower didn't originally have lock washers under the nuts, should I
add them? (The assembly instructions and diagram do not show any lock
washers.)
