Kelly, a 10ft piece of 2" or so OD pipe or tube can be cut to three equal  
lengths, Then you can drill holes to match the tower legs and bolt them  
together. Probably best to use grade 8 bolts.
 
The old Rohn BXHC78 hinged base used three pieces of pipe like that to  
interface the tower legs with the base hinges.

Hi  all,

I¹m not seeing any evidence of my posts going through, so if this  is a
duplicate, please forgive.

Need base stubs, or a suitable  MacGyver, for a DMX48. This is a 
freestanding
tower similar to the Rohn BX,  but with a tapered design rather than the 
BX¹s
stepped taper.

My  stubs would attach to the old-style DMX106 section.

Delhi changed the  leg profile enough that new stubs, apparently, according
to Delhi, don¹t  work.

Seems all the old-style stubs are currently residing in concrete.  Just like
mine still in the ground at my parents¹ former  home...

Thanks

Kelly
