[TowerTalk] Thrust bearing

[tttt ccccc]

OM,

I used an automotive  clutch "throw-out" bearing.  

If you can find a patient  parts store clerk (try a NAPA store) a
suitable device 

can be found as you will have to try a number to find one with the proper
sized

hole.

The bearing is a very heavy duty "lazy susan" bearing and will need to be
welded

to some manner of adaptor plate.  Weather was not a problem as I painted
mine and

it held up fine as long as it was up.
