after buying one of steve's gauges, i discovered the guys on the tower are
WAY too loose. they are 3/16 ehs. the 2 questions are:
1) what should the tension be? i know it is 10% of the breaking strength,
but i don't know what the breaking strength is.
2) what is the best way to tighten the guys? i don't want to snub one guy
to 400lbs. in one move and have the tower lean at a 10 deg angle. do i
think like i'm tourqueing head bolts and go in a pattern?
tnx in advance. please respond to me at henry@rio.com and i'll summerize if
need be.
