Its not about comfort on the tower as much as it is trying to keep the link stable. Plus it is a pain to align since turning a wrench moves the tower. So AF24 and and MM wave gear is near impossible to align. I'm always about trying to figure out a way to resolve something like this. I like the engineering challenge but this one has me a bit baffled.

Not your fault he build a sketchy tower. I think your proposed guy wires would do little improve climber comfort and zero to improve actual safety.
