First let me say that I bought my HDX-555 used from an estate so I don't know
if it was original equipment or not but my "T" base had threaded lugs on two of
the arms. The third looks like it had one as well but it was cut off to
accomodate the tilt over mount.

Subject: [TowerTalk] ground connection at tower base
Good Morning.
I recently installed a US Tower HDX589. I also installed a number of 3/4" 10ft
ground rods. Then cad-welded #2 stranded copper wire to the rods. I am now
trying to determine the best way to connect the #2 wire to the tower base. In
past installations, I simply drilled a hole thru the tower base steel, used a
stainless bolt/nut/washer, and fastened a copper ground lug to the tower. Then
stick the ground wire into the lug and tighten it.
Before I break out the drill this weekend, does anyone have a better solution?
