Yep, thats kinda what I got. Not sure if this is "old style" but it's this one here: rigging-screws-closed-body/PBBW-120012-A" target="_blank">http://marinestore.co.uk/Merchant2/m.../PBBW-120012-A

It's tough to find stuff in UK stores, btw - their English is quite a bit different, especially in terminology. What we call "turnbuckle" is a " rigging screw" to them, and a "turnbuckle" is something fairly different in UK. Anyway, now I need to get riggers over here one more time and I'd be all set.
