	WakeWorld Discussion Board: Skylon Tower swaying left and right????
		For 2 years since I have had the boat I have had nothing but problems with the tower swaying back and forth, choppy water is when its the worst, the out come of this is the rubber mounts that are between the tower and boat get pushed up and out of place.
		I have sent it down to LA to the Skylon dealer once were they added a 3/8 bolt threw the center of the front mount, before I sent it down there the back mounts were the ones moving.
		It is now up in SAC at the Skylon dealer there for the same problem and all they have done is replaced the rubber mounts and told me that the bolts were too tight, which is funny since there own guys did it.

	MAKE: Blog: HOW TO - Make a Skylon tower
		The source of our inspiration was the original Skylon which was erected for the Festival of Britain in 1951.
		We decided that 16 foot would be a nice length for our Skylon, so we screwed two lengths of pallet wood end to end, with a third length screwed across both lengths of wood to provide reinforcement in the centre where our Skylon would bulge out.
		After lifting the Skylon into place on its cable base, we anchored the free cables to nearby objects to ensure that it did not come crashing to the ground.
