Topband: Dealing with the rotor on a driven tower

I spoke with Yaesu on this question and received the answer that the rotor
must be insulated from any surface that carries RF to prevent "unexpected
behavior" and/or damage to the rotor and/or control box.

I'd like to know if there are simpler solutions that readers of the
reflector have used successfully. I just put up my tower single-handed a
year ago (that was a lot of work for a first-timer) and I'm not feeling all
that ready to go back up and start messing with it.
