If your concern is containing the mast for rotator swaps K7LXC has a great
suggesting of just installing a lower rotator plate with no bearing.  Towers
are so imprecise, I cannot imagine trying to line up three bearings and not
have it bind.

The second, lower, thrust bearing is VERY handy when you need to remove the
rotator without first removing all the antennas on the mast above the top
thrust bearing.
