Years ago I managed to scrounge a few large insulators from the railroad. (they used them either on top of electric cars or for hanging the overheads along the right of way). Seems that if they were

be careful with repurposing old insulators, or even in applying new insulators in cases that they haven't been designed for. I bought 4 big porcelain insulators for my elevated radial 80m 4-square ar

I agree with thicker plates if you are doing an insulator like that, the ones i got are probably 1/2" or so and well galvanized. the standard roof or pier pin plates are meant to be supported on thei
