[TowerTalk] Rebar Cage for Foundation

[Patrick Greenlee]

One solution for fit I have used was to make a jig by assembling some 
steel parts to the tower portion of the interface and then using that as 
a sort of go-no go gauge (transfer standard?) to adjust the cage 
components.  The idea was that things equal to the same thing are equal 
to each other.  I got a very snug virtually perfect fit.
