G1YBB guy ring – large

The larger ring will fit scaffold poles (Ø48.3mm) OR Ø50mm/2 inch poles. There are different sized bore bearings for each as a 2 inch bearing would be too loose for proper operation on a scaffold pole.

The ring is 6mm thick stainless and has hole patterns for 4 and 3 guy rope systems, 6 holes at 13mm diameter.

The coax slot is 25mm wide which will pass an N type plug easily.

Weight is 1115 grams.

The image below shows typical 4 rope or 3 rope guying patterns.

Below you can see a finished large guy ring. You can see the machined bearing sandwich overhangs the stainless centre inside and outside diameters. This prevents the guy ring from ever damaging steel/aluminium/fibreglass poles and also ensures the coax in the slot never touches the inner slot diameter. Outer coax slot has smoothed edges to protect that valuable feeder!

The guy ring is designed to sit on a pole joiner or other such feature on the mast. If there are no joiners, then a very good option is an Aluminium Stauff clamp like in the photograph below. The below pole has been in use by G1YBB for portable contesting several times a month for 5 years.
