Right, but who cares? If you use a proper 2 " mast, the bolt will hit
the mast
very soon after it enters the top pipe portion since there is only a
little
clearence between the pipe top pipe and the mast. You would only clamp
the
mast with the bolt to temporarily remove the rotator so under the
condition of
not having a rotator installed, who cares if the mast is perfectly
centered?
So I guess I missed your point , Jim . . .
