I acquired an older layover fixture (believe it is a HyGain) and have modified 
the pulley wheel from a single wheel to a double wheel. I believe the double 
pulley-wheel was standard on later fixtures.

My tower does NOT have an attachment welded to the tower to attach the tower 
dual pulley-wheels so have had a local cable rigger make me a loop which goes 
around the tower and will be held in place with shackles holding the cable to 
the tower cross braces.

My first question is – on the towers equipped with the pulley mounting plate 
how high up from the base is the pulley attachment point.

Second question – what size cable is used and what length was provided with the 
original HyGain setup?
