It looks like everyone is trying to reinvent the wheel. What is wrong with terminating Phillystran 
the way the manufacture says. 
I have been using 6700 lb Phillystran for over 30 years for my 80 ft of Rohn 45G tower. At that time 
the termination kits were a thimble and 4 cable clamps. The clamps were to be torqued to 25 ft/lbs.  
My tower has a Telrex 20m546 at 80 ft, a Hygain 153BAS at 90 ft and a Hygain 103BAS at 100 ft. The 
installation has seen wing gust up to 90 MPH.
