I dont know if I'm violating the Prime Directive by doing something that is not specified by the manufacturer...... but......... It would seem that providing a large thimble for the grip to ride in in the top of a guyed Rohn 25 tower (grip around leg) would make for less chafing and sawing action than the grip bearing on the leg and "Z" wire. Given that, a large thimble....5/8" or so would be useful to let the grip ride in. The question is, who's got thimbles of that size? I can tell you it's not Home Despot or Lowes .... Thanks for any clues! John wb5oau |
