[TowerTalk] Installing a Ham-IV rotor on Tashjian w-51 tower

[Robert Moore]

Bob-  I would. All the manufacturer and ask. I have also read that some remove a cross brace where the rotator slides in. They replace the brace u-bolting it back in place. Also go to tower talk and poise the question or do a subject search of past emails. I am sure others have had the same problem. If me, I would bend one of the braces or remove and then unbolt back in place. I should be home Tuesday. We will be leaving here Sunday early.
