Really?  Have we lost it? Almost $50 for a clevis?
Three of them cost more than a tower section?
12,000 lb rating?  What size EHS are you using?
How about a foot of guywire instead?
It seems a little dicey to have solid steel loading a porcelain insulator?
If this is common practice, someone please elaborate...
Yep, here they are!  https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/dxe-ins-p1
Seems like for $50 they would put a twist in them, so you wouldn't need the extra link to the atachment point.
An old post fro Steve pointed to the power industry source, but who knows if they sell to the public or their price.
