These specs may have changed over time. Current spec sheet says 3/4" x 3
1/2" for Rohn 55, and 5/8" x 3 1/4" for Rohn 45.

I confirmed these on 3 Rohn 55 brackets I have on a tower here I'm getting
ready to install. The tower was new about 15 years ago. Also confirmed the
Rohn 45 size in a new bracket still in the box, purchased within last year.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Bolts for Rohn 55 guy bracket
I recently picked up a couple of used Rohn 55 guy bracket assemblies.
However, I believe the bolts that attach to the guy wire are undersized and
probably were for a Rohn 45 bracket. They appear to be 5/8 inches and the
hole will accept a 3/4 inch. So, I know I need a 3/4 inch grade 5
galvanized, but how long should it be. Too long and the shank will noit be
able to be snugged, too short and I won't be able to put a nut on it. I
can't find the info anywhere on the Rohn site.
Help!
By the way, still looking for a third guy bracket assembly, Phillystran, a
rotor plate and top plate for Rohn 55.
K4XS/V31...soon.
