John,
How did the grip corrosion compare to the guy cable itself?
My tower guy ran into a situation where he was installing a 180ft tower kit
for a client and found some of the grips were already showing signs of
corrosion out of the barrel... He learned that the tower builder had
substituted off shore built wraps for their normal stock and the
galvanization was dramatically inferior to their normal stock.
He also noted that the inferior grips were noticeably stiffer than whatever
he normally used. I don't know if that would be good or bad...
