Not to knock MFJ too badly, but would you trust your tower guyed
with insulators from MFJ? Caveat Emptor!

The last ones I bought I got from Graybar. I had previously bought some
from Consolidated Electric Supply, but they have been bought out, and I
don't recall the new name.

If installed properly nothing happens if one breaks except the two
sections of guy line are now attached to each other. course it's a
pain to have to put in temporary guys while replacing the broken
insulator.

IOW, I don't trust any insulator.

Darn, forgot about the interlocking loops! I've never had
to guy anything -- just read about it!

He needs the kind that works in comprossion, so the guys won't separate if
the insulator turns to powder.
