| Two big grip preforms along with one in-line guy wire insulator of
suitable
| strength sure make a very strong and reliable (safe) in-line splice.
|
| I seem to recall seeing a special back to back preform that would
effectively
| allow splicing. Consult PreForm Line Products in Cleveland, Ohio for more
| information.
