My own were salvaged by a friend removing an old broadcast tower, and gifted to me 20 years ago. They have served well on several of my towers, including the Rohn 25 that is driven element for my K3LR-style 160-meter transmit array. They eliminate the need for 6 or more feet of steel EHS guy being attached to the tower and first insulator with Big Grips. The J732 is attached with insulator directly to the guy bracket on the tower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These clevises are an elegant solution for many projects, and can be cost effective compared with the alternatives. I\u2019ve also found them useful at the turnbuckle end of guy wires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bent pin shackles (Joslyn J732) are shown on Rohn 25 (left), the 160-meter TX array driven element at AA1K, and on Rohn 55 (right). That\u2019s an M-Squared 5-element 20-meter yagi (44-foot boom) just above the guys on the Rohn 55.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Bent pin shackles with insulators also are convenient at the turnbuckle end of the guy wires. (Turnbuckle safety wires were removed when this photo was taken).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
