Had a similar problem and asked US Tower to investigate and fix . . . sent them
numerous photos of the rubbing places from various angles. Ultimately made a
deal so that one of their road techs who was in the area to replace cables and
pulleys on other towers, including mine, bent various cross-members until the
rubbing was resloved. This was at no cost to me.
