[TowerTalk] Looking for Info installing TIC Rotors on HDX towers?

[Bruce Horn]

Yes, Carl can supply the three rods that fit in the legs of the crankup section and attach to the TIC Ring. I have a 1022 mounted in this fashion at the top of the 4th section of a HDX-589. While others appear to have luck with the TIC, I'm on my second one and have never been able to get either the first or second to operate reliably. At this point it's simply used as a side mount for a fixed tribander.

I do not own a crank-up tower and have never done this but I am envisioning the ring bracket clamped to three tubes that are dropped into the top of one of the tower sections.  Did you ask Carl?  Perhaps he sells a crank-up mounting adaptor.

Greetings, 

     I have a couple unused TIC 1022D (maybe they're 1032's Ring Rotors) that I was thinking about using on either a HDX-555-MDPL or HDX-589-MDPL tower.  
     Looking at the web site these appear to be "vintage models" now.  😉
     Does anyone have a picture or two of how these are mounted to the crank ups (showing how it doesn't interfere with travel)?  
     If you have ring installed on one of these two towers could you share any info on the install too?
     I would appreciate learning about your experiences and results.


Thanks in advance....
