[TowerTalk] Rohn coupling sleeves

[Herbert Schoenbohm]

Yes,  Exactly.  The Rohn 25 extension was bolted to the Rohn 45 below with
large brackets upside down because the end had a bend from the storm on the
bottom leg.  If I can get the two leg diameters to couple together somehow
it will be the only way to mate them.  I have (3) galvanized fence couplers
that can fit over the outside perfectly over the two 25G's but I am worried
about the bead stopper in the center of them could be a breakpoint.  So I
am not sure if that would work.
