Later this year I am going to erect a Rohn 45.  Before I start this job, I
have been checking everything on the ground to be sure all is good.  I
discovered that the bolts that connect the tower sections have been hot
dipped in zinc.  They are very tight, and I think that it might be too
difficult to tighten them on the tower when I am 30 feet or higher.  Should
I take a tap and die to clean out the threads?  Lock washers were not
included.  Should I get some zinc ones before I start this job?
