[TowerTalk] Tower Base Bolts and Epoxy

[AA6DX - Mark]

Tho I have not done so myself, I did a lot of research on this subject in 
the past for others, and the responses were all favorable.  In fact, one 
source said that properly done the inserted bolt had more strength than the 
original -- YMMV.  I proposed using all-thread with nuts --drill with a 
contractor style hammer drill for the hole to put the goo in!  Goggle is 
your friend in this instance!  73..  Mark  AA6DX

Subject: [TowerTalk] Tower Base Bolts and Epoxy

I have an existing 25G tower base that is damaged and needs replacing. Two 
of the four existing bolts align to the new base - What experience and 
advice would the group offer regarding drilling the concrete, inserting a 
bolt and epoxy it in ?

I could use the center pier pin as a place to add yet another bolt so end 
strength would be more that assured.

Advice / Feedback / Thoughts on suppliers and supplies ?
