Jim:  Just open the larger thimble a bit and put the smaller thimble 
inside.  Then use big grips on both Phyllistran and the EHS as usual.  
Works fine.  If you don't want to do that a single shackle does the 
job.  I have done both and when I need to get the two together out in 
the field I use a 1/2 inch shackle.  When I can put them together in the 
shop where a vise is handy I do the thimble inside thimble trick. Be 
sure to use galvanized shackles or you will regret it later.   73 bob de
