    Sure - I've installed a bunch of them.

    The rotator plates mount either at the top of the section or 3-feet down. 
The plate angle brackets will only mount in one place so it shouldn't be too 
hard to figure out.

    Yep. One end goes in an empty bolt hole and the other goes under a 
diagonal brace. There are longer bolts in the plate kit for that very purpose.

    You have to drill anything you use the plates for; i.e. rotator and 
thrust bearing.
