Also, does anyone know how the tower is supposed to pivot
when using those fixtures?  One simple possibility is just
using a pair of ordinary bolts, but it would seem that would
screw up the threads and/or tower holes.  I was thinking it
would be better to use a solid (unthreaded) rod through the holes instead.
I don't like the idea of 4000 lbs supported by 2 bolts on
my HDX-5106.  BTW, if anyone has a TRX-100HD to sell, let
me know.

AFAIK, the raising fixture attaches to mounting ears on
the base.  The tower has a plate with hole welded to the
middle of the bottom section to pull on.
