...and anyone that uses ty-wraps outside on a permanent installation is 
going to be disappointed sooner or later...

Well Stan I have to disagree with you on this one.
First the grips are not made by Rohn so the info is just their 
suggestions. 
When I bought the big grips for my tower they came with black ty-wraps and 

the instructions said nothing about end caps just the ty-wraps. So I would 

say that Steve is correct on this point.
