[TowerTalk] Repurposing Phillystran.

Brilliant Jon! 

Unfortunately the torque arm will also affect antennas, especially higher
frequency ones just as the Big Grips would if connected directly to the
tower. I am not sure if they can be insulated or even how much value they
add.  I never thought of arms as useful for guyed towers and I always use a
star guy bracket to reduce twisting.

Jim,
If the torque arm is long enough, use a cutoff wheel to cut it at the hole
and free the Phillystran grip intact. Then drill a new hole in the torque
arm for attaching the guy (with a bent pin shackle and insulator).
