I now use 3 cable clamps (each), on 1/4" EHS loops that go through my
turnbuckles. However, since I've recently got all of the guys are properly
tensioned, I thought about taking the welder around and making the loops
"permanent".
If someone has the will and ability to cut the loops, they'll also be able
to cut the guys....
Wish I had that kindof free-time.
