[TowerTalk] Fwd: Heights pre-1995 Aluminum Tower

[Hans Hammarquist]

 I am using a mix of Heights and Universal. They have about the same dimensions and (claim) material. You can use that for wind data and, to a limited extent, load allowance.

With a "light squeeze" they fit together. I was told by the engineer from Universal that the old Heights tower were manufactured without templates (take it from where it comes) and therefor it is important that you match up the sections correct (and carefully). The Universal sections fit irregardless when they were purchased.

Another thing, make sure to check the welding of the cross members. I have to spend some time/money to get them redone. Several had cracks in them to the point that some even were lose.

Good luck. I was successful in my assembly even if it took some time (and nerves ;-).
