I have a vertical made from tubing and need to attach guys to it. The guy
material is small phillystran. One thought is to make some guy rings to go
around the tubing ? The vertical is a old Titanex V160. The tubing goes
from 80 mm to 73mm / 73mm to 60mm then 40, 30 22, 18 mm. The total height
will be 32 mh (105 ft). The 80 and 73 mm tubing are 6m long.

Thanks for your input !
