John, I had similar problems with T2X in an LM-470. I was advised by
Skip (KJ6Y?) to install 1-2" lengths of angle aluminum spacers attached
to each of the three vertical pipes to support the rotor plate in the
center of the face (opening) so that the rotor's protruding flanges
don't contact the struts when turning. I have also used pipe clamps on
each pipe with their screw housings pointed toward the inside of the
tower to support the plate. The plate rests on the housings.
Nevertheless, I recently had to replace a T2X because it had outlived
its usefulness. A Yaesu G-1000 fits easily into the LM-470 and turns a
four element Steppir Yagi.

I am looking for help in determining the best rotor to fit in my
TX472MDP tower. Have a new TX2 but the diameter is too great. I'm
turning a Hygain TH11DX only right now but would like to add a smaller
40 meter beam eventually. Already have a new Green Herron controller.
What will fit in the tower? Alpha Spid?
Thanks,
John WB8LXE
