While the GA25G guy assembly is recommended and helps the 25G achieve
TIA-222 compliance, the Rohn catalog used to have an illustration of a guy
around a leg so it used to be 'acceptable'. The only important thing you need
to do is to put the termination thru the braces - then the forces are pulling
on several components instead of just the leg. With a Preformed grip, it's
real simple to attach.
For what you're proposing I don't have a problem with attaching the guy
directly to the leg.
