K1VR:  It fits, but just barely. The fit is so close that it cannot be
installed after the initial installation without cutting a Z brace. Take
down the top section and remount as new, or cut the Z brace and rebrace
(or not).  Those are your only two choices. So many others have run into
this that I suspect you'll get lots of answers.

Here are other comments from my personal archives:

Had the same problem with my Tailtwister in 25. I cut one of
the diagonals at the half way
point, pulled the out to where the beast would go in, and
then pushed the diagonals back in
place. Cut a 6" piece of diagonal from a junk section (
NEVER throw anything away ) and
used large cable clamps to clamp it across the cut. Probably
overkill, but little trouble.
