Refurbing the old Hustler BTV-4

This is the bottom section of the antenna and it had some rusted out bolts and when i tried to install the so239 connector kit the bolt for the center conductor broke off !! Well that threw a big monkey wrench into this project i had to order a whole new bottom section for the antenna because i couldn't do a new tap for the screw do to the length of the pipe . I went to DX engineering and ordered the dang section while there also ordered the tilt base unit so it will be easy to raise and lower the unit so what you see here will all brand new in a few days after doing this i will basically have a brand new Hustler BTV-4 which is a good thing with the parts i've had to order for this project i could have bought a new BTV!! Oh well live in learn but this should work great when done
