I've gone brain dead, help me with this simple question.  At the bottom end
of my 1/4 EHS guy wire I am connecting the guy wire to a GAC3455 anchor
rod/equalizer plate. I am terminating the EHS with a 3/8THH thimble and a
Rohn Big Grip.

Does this end attach to the eye end of a 1/2TBE&J turnbuckle? If so, how do
I get the 3/8THH thimble on the eye end of the turnbuckle, bend it? The J
end with the pin would then go to the equalizer plate. Or do I have it
backwards?

If the J end is on the 1/4EHS end, do I use large tower leg bolts to connect
the eye end to the equalizer plate?

The Rohn catalog is confusing. Thanks in advance.
