Or, line up a stack of the rotors and stuff a tube down the middle of them...

Thanks, Aaron.
The block, in its current design, is 41"W x 17"D x 25"H. This allows for three stacks of rotors, as per the attached drawings. I can't fit in three full-height stacks because the bars inside the block would be in the way, but I can fit in quite a few.
I can't fit a tube through the centre rotors, because the upper link components will be in the way.
If I space the lower bars at CAT-1 (26") they will coincide with the holes in the rotors.
I could go to CAT-2 spread (32") which would allow the tubes to pass through the centres of the rotors. If the block is 41" wide, that would leave only 4.5" ((41-32) / 2) of concrete on the outside of the bars. Is that enough?
The rotors will take up a lot of the volume of the block, which means there is less concrete. I was thinking that the concrete in the rotor holes might be necessary for adequate strength of the block. Am I being too worried about the volume/strength of the concrete?
