[Alberg30] HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jim,
thx for the below info. I tried the old spare turnbuckle barrel that I have 
on the threaded piece that is swaged onto my lower shroud, and it would not 
pass 1/4 turn after I got it started. I assumed it was because of incompatible 
threads; whatever Canadian/British thread that Whitby used, and the American 
thread spacing on my spare turnbuckle from my old stash of turnbuickles. Maybe 
there was just some dirt or grit in the thread. I'll try it again.
thx,
Lee

<< When you buy a turnbuckle you get all 3 pieces, the barrel, left and right 
hand threaded pieces.  What you do is through away the piece that's 
equivalent to the one crimped onto the shroud and use the other 2 pieces, or just use 
the barrel.  If the reason that your saying you need a new barrel is galling, 
then the threaded pieces may need replacement too.  Closely inspect the 
threaded pieces, if there's signs of spalling or galling you might want to buy a dye 
and see if by chasing the threads you can remove material that will pick-up on 
the new barrel and gall that one tight.  Its messy but Anti Seize is the best 
anti-galling lubricant on the market; that's what I use when putting 
turnbuckles back together.   If you got an old style turnbuckle that you can't match 
at you ship's store you might look at what Bacon's got used.  They do have a 
good collection of used turnbuckles.
