Well, you really don't want egg insulators for this application --
that's not what they are designed for.

Their intended use is for guy wires, to break them up into non-resonant
lengths for towers that will be used to support a transmitting antenna.
Furthermore, if the egg insulator should happen to break, the sections
of guy wire will still be looped together, still providing mechanical
integrity.

The insulator you should be talking about is the classic plastic or
glass ribbed insulator.
