[TowerTalk] rohn tb25d torque bars

[SavageBR@aol.com]

Hi Stephen,
It is my opinion, based on 40 yrs of experience, that the torque  bars do 
improve tower stability. This is noticed if you are up the tower when  turning a 
beam.
 
I could not find the hole diameter in my Rohn books. I do have a set of  arms 
used for a Rohn tilt over to provide 90 degree guy placement. They are very  
similar to the torque arms I use on a standard Rohn 25 tower.
 
The outer holes in these brackets are 9/16 dia.  Looking at my R 25  tower 
through binoculars I can confirm that I used Rohn thimbles for 3/16 EHS  guy 
wire with no problems.
 
I am going up the tower tomorrow and will look at the hole diameter on the  
standard torque arms. I would guess 9/16.
