[TowerTalk] How to fix crooked Rohn 45G short base?

[Steve Maki]

Structurally that amount of lean wouldn't be a problem.

I would hog out the holes to 1/2" and use 1/2" hardware. It's only a 40' 
tower.

Spray some cold galvanizing in there - a couple applications - and call 
it good.

I bolted the first section on top of the base and we’re about an inch out from top to bottom of the first segment.

I’m aware that Rohn doesn’t like drilling the bolt holes, even to get out the excess galvanizing, so I don’t imagine hogging out some holes would be the right way. In the archives I saw passing mention of bending the tops of a short base, but I wasn’t sure of the context so I don’t know if that’s the right approach.
