Claim 2:
3. The bracket assembly of claim 1, and wherein said lower support bracket further includes first and second lower column attachment members disposed about left and right sides of said vertical plate, the bracket assembly further comprising
a. first and second vertical columns attached to said first and second lower column attachment members, respectively, and extending upwardly therefrom;
b. first and second upper support brackets, which mirror one-another about a vertical centerline, and wherein each further comprises:
i. an upper column attachment member for attachment to an upper portion of one of said first or second vertical columns;
ii. an upper vertical plate extending inwardly from said upper column attachment member, said upper vertical plate having a proximal face for engaging the tower section flange face and a distal face, and wherein said upper vertical plate includes an upper circular aperture formed therethrough, located to lie along the tower section bolt circle and sized to span at least two bolt holes of the plurality of bolt holes, and
iii. an upper attachment yoke, having a retention flange with a circular rim extending therefrom to a yoke face, wherein said circular rim is sized to rotatably engage said upper circular aperture, and wherein said yoke face lies flush with said proximal face of said upper vertical plate while said retention flange engages said distal face, and wherein said upper attachment yoke has formed therethrough at least two bolt apertures sized and spaced to match the size and spacing of the at least two bolt holes spanned by said upper circular aperture, to thereby enable alignment of said bolt apertures with the bolt holes by rotation of said upper attachment yokes within said upper circular aperture for insertion of retention bolts therethrough.
