Dick:
You have apparently not put up a Rohn guy bracket in a while, because
this is exactly how they have been supplied from the manufacturer for
some time.
My GB-45 that I purchased 8 or 9 years ago arrived exactly that way.
And using a wire twisted through the shackle, in my opinion, is a smart
way to add protection to prevent the shackle from coming loose. I did
not use a preventer wire and never had any change in the shackle pin
loosening, due to the static tension on the line, but it seems like a
good strategy.

I don't have any comment on what to do about the guy bracket, but I was
intrigued by the photo showing a shackle between the guy grip and
bracket
link. It was also interesting to see a bit of wire being used to prevent
the
shackle bolt from moving. I would imagine the shackle was added to make
it
easier to change/repair the guy at a later date without removing the guy
grip. But this is certainly not to Rohn spec. Is this a common or
recommended practice, or would TowerTalkians discourage it based on the
LXC
rule?
