I'm not sure I would trust tied all thread solely in a situation like this.
Better drill holes, use galvanized iron rods and epoxy to connect to the
base.
Use the regular base for the tower, with the rods holding in place. Have
you checked
the overturn moment one to the other?
Is the base reinforced?
Good luck, we're all counting on you ...!

I have a properly installed RCB-70 base for a Tri-Ex LM-354HD or LM-470
tower. I am going to replace this tower with US Tower HBX-555.
I have engineering documents for a design to remove the "ears" on the
RCB-70 base, drill holes and Strong Tie threaded rod in the base for the
new tower. Simple, effective, should work fine, right?
Looking at the tilt base of the new tower, I see that it may be possible to
fabricate a fixture to affix the new tower to the exisiting base.
Has anyone done something like build a bolt-together fixture, or welded
threaded rod on the TriEx base?
Should I forget about this and remove the old "ears" and proceed with the
current plan?
Advice is appreciated!
