[PVRCNC] Rohn 55G bearing plate dimensions

Hello


I plan (in coming weeks) to attach wire antennas, via rope, to a shackle
connected to each of the 'ears' on a Rohn 55G top bearing plate.

But, what size shackle should I get?

Maybe I could use a thimble instead; doesn't matter, still need to know
what size.

An exhaustive search of the internet turned up no dimensional drawings.

Just pictures, like this one:

The top plate I have here is up at 78' ... a bit of a climb just to take
measurements.

Do any of you folks have a document in archive that shows the dimensions
for the Rohn BPL55G?

As an aside, I note the current price of these things is $550.   Amazing.


Merry Christmas
