[TowerTalk] Base stubs for old AX-series tower

I have 5 sections of an old Rohn AX-series self supporting tower.  I am 
thinking about using 3 of the larger sections for a short EME tower.  I 
tried to check with Criticaltowers.com to see if any of the BX-series 
stubs would work.  Basically they told me that they had no parts for the 
old AX-series towers and never had any at any time.  Unless I find 
useable stubs, I am planning to just bury one of the larger tower 
sections in 4 feet of concrete and stack 2 sections above it.  I am also 
making my own top plate from 1/4 inch thick 6061-T6 and will use a 
GS-065 thrust bearing on top. The top section has a useable rotor plate 
about 56 inches down from the top.

If anyone knows where to find AX base stubs, please let me know. Thanks!
