       The Ham IV and TailTwister both use the same 4-hole bolt pattern.  The
T2X adds 2 more bolt holes for a total of 6.  You can mount a Ham IV on a T2X
plate.

      Most rotator shelves come with 4 bolt holes in the Hy-Gain pattern and
some include the extra T2X holes.  

    Create rotators have 4 holes but they are in a different spot than the
Hy-Gain ones.  Create has an adapter available to go from their rotator to a
Hy-Gain bolt pattern.  Rohn solves this problem by having slotted holes that
will accept either.
