[TowerTalk] Turnbuckle Mounting

[Shane Dugas]

If you can weld a plate or something to the post and you havn't purchased 
your turnbuckles yet you can get the type with the shackle on one end instead
of an eye or hook.  I purchased a set of these for my future installation.  
About the same price as turnbuckles with eyes or hooks.





>The only idea I've been able to come up with is to attach a screw eye bolt
>through the post and make a loop of strong, stiff cable about a foot or so
>in diameter.  I would 'string' the turnbuckles on the loop with a one or two
>inch bushing between each one to provide some fixed spacing.
>
>Have others made this sort of thing without cutting and welding?  I don't
>want to pay for 6 of the Rohn 'tension equalizers' unless they perform some
>function I can't get from a less rigid rig.
