This is more of an antenna question than a rig question.
Wondering if anyone has any suggestions for joining tower sections back
together.
I have three sections of tower that I bought and want to reassemble,
but the legs are JUST enough misaligned that they wont quite go back
together.  I am thinking of buying some short lengths of steel pipe with
an
inside diameter that would slip over the outside of the tower legs and
maybe
drilling holes through the short lengths so that bolts could go through
them and
on through the holes in the legs of the tower.
Question is....  advisable or not from a safety standpoint?  Total tower
height
would be about 30 feet and would be guyed and also fastened to the side
of
the garage.  Or would there be enough wiggle room between the inside
diameter
of the joining sections and the tower legs that it would be too weak at
those
points?
