Well, then I'm not sure what you're trying to do. The top-of-the-tower
U-bolt is just to hold the mast while you deal with something else - like
rotator removal, raising or lowering mast, etc. In the case of a US Tower
where there are just a couple of bolts up there to hold the mast, I leave the
U-bolt in as a vertical stopper and then the tower bolts only have to hold
the torque on the mast.
You can always have another U-bolt.
