I understand that accessory plates for rotators and thrust bearings
are not available from Rohn for this size tower.

Necessity is the mother of invention. I brought out 90 feet of Rohn 65 to
KH6 and faced the same problem. Solution......I took the bottom section (the
one that is tapered) and had a weld shop cut out holes for the thrust bearing
and the holes to mount it. Since 65 is the same whether it's right side up
or upside down, I simply used the bottom tapered section for the top. All
that is left is to fabricate a rotor plate...easy enough to do. I hope this
helps.
