Safety wires on a shackle are easy and a wise thing to do. That said
with normal guy wire tension I doubt one would ever back out unless you
forgot to tighten it in the first place. Shackles are relatively
inexpensive and if you ever need to do work on the guy you will be very
pleased that you used them. I also use them to join Phyllistran big
grips to ehs big grips. Its easier than hammering the smaller thimble
into the bigger one. But buy only heavily galvanized or SS shackles.
The cheap plated ones will rot out quick. 73 bob de w9ge
