Insulated Backstay Terminals?

Has anyone vere heard of a failure of an insulated backstay terminal... as in physically breaking?

Kirk,

Not firsthand, but have heard of a couple. Sometimes failure of the connections rather than the insulator itself. Why are you asking?

See you're in STT. Have a cold one at Craig and Sally's for me :-)
