Which tower is if for?  I'm looking for details on an on TM-240.

Rust wise I feel a lot would depend on if your inspecting it or not.  Most inspectors will allow some rust but not bad rust.   Light sand paper, grinder, sandblast it off, treat with cold plating.   And or just send it and burry it.  A few spot here and there clean it up protect it and send it.     I agree really rusted shouldn't be installed but replaced but I don't think perfect is ever going to happen in real world.

All,

I have a rigid base for an old Tri-EX tower that has never been installed.
It has some rust, not much.  What surface preparation should I do before
installing it?
