[TowerTalk] Yaesu 800 rotor pin ?

[john at kk9a.com]

Some people are against pinning a mast however Yaesu rotator clamps are
designed with a bolt through the mast.  I followed the manufacture's method
at my windy P40A station and never had a rotator issue.  If I recall, Yaesu
uses an 8mm socket head cap screw. and I believe they call for a Ø9mm hole
50mm from the end of the mast.

rotator from Hurricane  Beryl . I would like to pin the mast , not 
having the manual , what diameter bolt is needed ?
