      Texas Towers has insulators. Your local price sounds reasonable.

      Why? Nobody uses cable clamps any more. They're WAY too much work. The
only way I would use them is if my customer held a gun to my head. Get 1/4
inch Preformed grips from Texas Towers. They're much faster and easier and
won't loosen up the first time they temp cycle.
