Guy wire brackets for the elements
Although the elements were designed for 120mph and could be used without element tensioners as called support guy wires, I decided to overrule my own concept.
The following pictures will give an overview about the hardware.
Using Fe-square tubing 40x40x2mm
Together with a baseplate are welded together.
The standoff will be placed abobe the element 2boom brackets.
Between the two support brackets a flex U-bracket will fit the support guy wires when the elements are placed on the boom.
To connect the support wires at the element, I use seperate plates. Predirlled before galvanizing.
To deform the plate (5mm thick), just use brute force...
8 pieces, makes one for each half element.
