There's a fellow making copies of the Rohn plates. Seems like he is in Wisconsin.

Does Rohn offer flat bottom and top plates for 45G?

If so, buy one of each, put the top plate on what you
already have in the ground and bolt the bottom plate
to it with shims to get it plumb.

good luck, 73, Phil  W5BVB

Hi guys,

Due to the property lines and terrain I don’t have room to pour another one next to the existing one, so jackhammering out the current one may be the only option.

Some others have suggested drilling new bolt holes to make the first section plumb. That seems like the easiest option, but I worry that (depending on how close the new holes are to the existing holes) that will weaken the tower right where the majority of the bending stress is focused. I admit I’m naive about these things, though.
