My phlli is 25 years old. (It was only up 9 years) It was designed for cable
clips and thimbles. The phlli is .3 inches diameter. So I'm going to order
5/16" clips.
AND I already have the 5/16" wire rope clips. No use spending $150.00 bucks
on more stuff when what I have will work just fine. I used it on a 110' R25
with a TH6 and a 2 element 40 at 115' and 2 more TH6s at each guy level.
This is for a second tower R25 at 50 feet with a KT36 on it.
Thanks

IMHO, unless the Philly is designed for use with thimbles,
it should not be used with thimbles and compression clamps.
That's because some strands with have greater stress on them
when the Phily is wrapped around something or is pinched
by clamping.
That said, I'm pretty sure the thimble size is 1/4".
