If you know whether the threading is right or left and what the size of
the stud is - in the my boat it is 3/16 - you should be able to get a
new one to fit. A simple micrometer will help you get the correct size.
I got one for super cheap at Home 
Depot when I had to do a similar job. The treading should be the same
as it is on the other shrouds so that should be an easy fix. I also know
that if you hold the teaded stud up and look to see whether the threads
point upward or downward, you can tell whether the threading is right or
left. Unfortunately, I forget which way is right or left. I am sure
there is something intuitive about it, but I do not know what it is. Tom
at Rigging Only can tell you - he did me; I just forgot. Speaking of
Rigging Only, I have had good luck with them at 508-992-0434. Ask for
Tom. I would also expect that if you live in an area where there is a
large marine store, you might be able to walk in and purchase one.

Has anyone had to replace a lower shroud turnbuckle on an older model A
30?  
If so, where did you find one with a thread that matched the swaged
fitting on 
the shroud?

We are up to putting the rig together, and found one of the lower
turnbuckles 
had turned off the swaged side of the shroud, and is gone. I have a box
of 
old turnbuckles, but, of course, the thread does not match the fitting
on my A30 
shroud.

Any info/advice, or if someone has a spare they are willing to part
with; all 
greatly appreciated.

Thx,
Lee
