[TowerTalk] Aluminum TB2 clone...

[W5CPT]

In answer to your last question.

R&L sells an adapter to mate a Yaesu Thrust Bearing to a Rohn tower. It is their house brand Jetstream and sells for about $40.  The larger of the two Yaesu bearings is quite stout and has served me well.  I just wish I had used the adapter rather than drilling the top plate of my tower top.

  WB0W sells an Aluminum thrust bearing that is a "clone" of a Rohn TB2.  The 
  race area appears to be much "beefier" and the mounting flange also is 
  thicker.  Does anyone use this bearing?  How does it stand up?  I/m 
  concerned with bearing race ware and tear by the bearings on the Aluminum. 
  Any recommendations for a TB2 bolt pattern bearing?
