Hi Colin: 

So what your saying is I attach the ladderline feed to the base of the triangle? 
How could this be done? I'm kind of visualizing a triangle 2 sides being the wire with the main insolator at the top where the ladderline feed was attached, then the ladderline running along the bottom of the triangle, soldered in 2 points to close the triangle. 
I believe the ladderline feed section is about 30 feet long, with a 50 feet coax attached and sealed at the manufacturer with pharite beeds.  
So I'd have a triangle, 51 feet each side with a 30 foot base.

I'd certainly like to turn this G5RV into a workable antenna without cutting it up, just reshaping it and soldering it! LOL
