    I've bent anchor bolts that have needed 'adjusting' so it can be done if

    So my answer to the original question should be "Yes - use rebar to tack 
the anchor bolts together to make a solid anchor bolt fixture."

    Me too. The Trylon Titans are just the ticket for light- to medium-duty 
applications. And they're pretty inexpensive.  <A
