[TowerTalk] Phillystran to EHS tail connection and shackle questions

An insulator is not necessary.  If you put a Big Grip around a shackle you
did not read the directions.  Preformed Line Products recommends a specific
thimble size for each of their Big Grip ends.

It's a matter of the mating surfaces that are acceptable for the big grips,
the Philly end, insulators & shackles. You don't want a big grip tone bent
over the small diameter of the shackle or shackle pin. You want the broader
surface of an insulator to mate to the big grip.
