[TowerTalk] Widening tower mast opening.

[w6rgs at cox.net]

Howdy folks,

Having galvanized a 2" mast for my tower, it's now too tight of a fit in 
the 2" wide x 3" long mast opening at the top plate of the tower.  I 
already knew that galvanizing would slightly increase the diameter, but 
did not expect as much as it did.

So, I'm thinking of honing out a few thousandths of steel inside that 
2x3 tube for the mast to fit.  There is already a thrust bearing on top, 
so I'm not worried about a lack of support after honing.

Any thoughts on using a 3-stone cylinder hone to open up the tube a little?
