I use a single link of chain. Makes a great transition between the philly and the cable.



I purchased a used tower that came with philly and ehs guy assemblies.
At the transition point from philly to ehs two thimbles are used.

How does one spread the thimbles apart to accomplish this task?  The
thimbles are large, 3/8 for the 1/4" ehs and 7/16 for the 6700I philly.

The other option which is probably easier is to use a 502 insulator at
the transition point.

Thanks,
