[TowerTalk] Convert a Ham IV to a T2X?

[Rob Frohne]

Hi All,

I noted on the following page that there seem to be few differences 
between the Ham IV and the T2X rotors.

I am getting ready to put up a new antenna, and so have opened up my 
Ham IV to find out what needed to be fixed.  There were several issues 
(it was turning a 4 element quad for several  years).  One of the 
issues is that one of the four bolts that holds the bell housing to the 
brake housing has a bolt broken off in it.  I have two of these Ham 
IV's that I was swapping out as necessary for maintenance.  My other 
one has had the bell housing drilled and tapped for larger bolts once 
and is in need of it again.  I think moving to a T2X looks like a 
better idea than just replacing these parts, especially since it looks 
like there may be only a few extra parts to make it a T2X.  (I already 
have CATS super wedge.)  Has anyone had any experience with this?

Thanks,

Rob
