John,
ALL my7 yagi antennas I now use Phillystran HTPG1200 with 1/8 stainless
steel thimbles and three 1/8 SS cable clamps. I then use ¼ inch flooded
heat shrink on the incapsalated live and tail end of the phillystran. Sorry
I have no photographs ☹

John or Wayne,
Do you have a photo or sketch of your preferred installation method?

This reminded me of a pressed sleeve failure on a wire rope that I once had
with a brand new Telrex beam. Since then I have not trusted them. Anyway I
think non-metallic Phillystran is a much better choice for a boom trusses, I
use stainless steel cable clamps with mine instead of Big Grips.
