- Keep the information on the list; I want to know more about this as well. A local here upgraded from a 50' to a 70' tower, and did this very thing. He used some kind of an epoxy to glue in the bolts.

- If its a guyed tower, you don't need any bolts. Take a look at the Rohn 25, 45 and 55 pier pins. A simple single pin in the center of the base plate is all that is required. Take a look at the Rohn i
