[TowerTalk] How to attach a 25/45 ginpole to HDBX Tower?

[hovernaut at comcast.net]

Thanks to all! I have the IIX ginpole clamp, note sure if it is the GP21X kit though. 
It will do up to Rohn 55. I have been toying with the hook idea, but wasn't thrilled 
about having to weld up anything.

Benny, 

As you know, the BX towers and the 25's have totally different legs 
to clamp on the ginpoles. The tubing with the pully that goes 
into the clamping fixture is virtually the same for the two towers. 

You should use the right stuff for the clamping fixture. I would 
suggest you talk to Galen, WB0W who makes those items 
professionally. www.wb0w.com He might sell you just the BX 
fixture/clamp and you'll be good to go...safely.
