The traps all look the same so you'd have a problem there. I had my wife
help me because the previous owner had everything marked. My wife didn't
know what was what but connected A to B to C and so-on and when we got it
together using the marking from the last installation, I think I had to
adjust the 10 meter trap a little and the clamp was off that one, and 40
meters was a little off, other than that, it fell right in. you'd be
starting from scratch but if you have anything that will tell you SWR it
should fall in pretty easy. I will say though before I put radials on it 40
and 75 meters were impossible.
