Hi Jack!

Unless you are "Star" guying (6 wires at each level), there is no torque 
reduction (less twisting of the tower). The "torque bar" name is a poor one as 
it does nothing for reducing torque
and six wires requires a different guy attachment bracket.

I have lots of "torque bars" that are in my "barn of spare parts". I've never 
used the bars with my Rohn guy attachment hardware. If you decide to use them 
and need more, I've got lots of
them for sale!

73!
