[TowerTalk] WTB: Rohn 25G hardware

[Keith Dutson]

New guy grips can be re-used for up to about 6 months after the first
application.  After that time period the semi-soft resin that helps grip the
steel becomes hardened and is useless for another application.  The grip
will still function, but holds less tension than originally specified.

I'll second that suggestion on getting NEW Big Grips (TM).
The instructions say they can only be reused once IF it's to tighten them up
AND they have not been in use for more than a couple of weeks.  I've
forgotten the time but it's not more than a couple of weeks if that much.
