>>because the "knobs" at the bottom of the bell housing stick out so
far they hit the crossbraces.  What am I missing here?  <<

I think what you're missing is that you have a Tailtwister / T2X, not a Ham IV.

If you have a Ham IV, it should be able to free fall inside your tower without 
the rotator mounting plate.  

The best top section for 25, based on my experience, is the flat top 8' section 
on which you mount a thrust bearing - no pipe at the top.
