[Public-list] Turnbuckle

[sousa, stephen (ENG)]

Bill,

I disposed of the old turnbuckles with the rigging. I also checked Suncor
Stainless on the web check your dimensions against what they offer. Sorry I
couldn't help.

Stephen,
I need the 4 for the lower shrouds 3/8". The 1/2" for the upper seem to
work. 
 I got all new T-bolts with Toggles 

Thanks for looking

Bill

Bill,

How many turnbuckles do you need? I may have saved the originals when I
updated the rigging. I need to check in boat stuff when I rebuilt #114.

Thanks for the input, are the turnbuckles that came on the albergs no longer
made. It would be so easy to replace the old with new of the same size. The
old turnbuckle for the lower shroud (Ronstan) is  3 3/4" long the new one
from West Marine is 5 3/4"

Bill,

If you need to replace the fittings either swage or Sta lock type fittings.
I would suggest that the wire is replaced at the same time. The wire is
extremely inexpensive by the foot, then the rigging would be new. 

I would also lubricate your new turnbuckles with McLube or another type of
dry lubricate during installation. Also when making up the new rigging, use
a marine type silicone in the Sta Lock fitting and Loctite on the threads. 

The silicone will keep the water out of the fitting and  extend the life of
the wire. Also the lower shrouds are different in length (fore and aft) use
the one removed as a template for the new wire and consider some stretch in
the old wire when measuring.

Stephen

Suggest use Norsemen or Stalock end fittings - eyes on the upper part of the
lowers and where ever else you need to shorten. Cheers, John
