Those of us who converted from broken up EHS guy wires to Phillystran had
plenty of 504 surplus insulators. So it was a natural to use them for the
transition between EHS guy wire and Phillystran.

questions
An insulator is not necessary. If you put a Big Grip around a shackle you
did not read the directions. Preformed Line Products recommends a specific
thimble size for each of their Big Grip ends.

It's a matter of the mating surfaces that are acceptable for the big grips,
the Philly end, insulators & shackles. You don't want a big grip tone bent
over the small diameter of the shackle or shackle pin. You want the broader
surface of an insulator to mate to the big grip.
