Not sure if the block should be curved like that. I would look at
getting an equalizer plate if possible. If this is a rohn, check

LaRoy,
This is obviously the wrong part for the application. I personally would
be more concerned about the depth and proper construction of the
anchorage point.
The correct way would have been a leg anchor with a dispersion plate at
the end. The turnbuckles should have been eye bolt
I had never seen anything like this until this tower installation about
15 years ago.
I thought the bolt was bent the first time I saw it but I really think
they are made that way.
The tower is 190' with 2 sets of guys, and inner and an outer set and
all 6 shackles are this way.

It's not supposed to be curved, it has bent under load. It's not the right
part for the application. You could use an equalizer plate or since you
already have an anchor with space for 3 guy wires, just use a short piece

I did not make myself clear about the guy wires. There are 6 total sets
of guy wires on the tower. The bottom 3 sets are at around 50-70' from

from the tower.
I am with you about the way it should have been done vs the

Amazingly 25G is extremely resilient to falling. There are several
videos on the web of guys dropping these towers and they continue to
stand after all the guys are cut.
In case anyone can help. Contact him directly.
