Metric Turnbuckles

[SAILBOY05]

Well this is something I didn't see coming, I lost my turnbuckle bodies in transit I guess. Now where do I find 8mm turnbuckle bodies? I live in Winthrop Harbor Illinois, and I can't find these things.....Any Help is appreciated! thank you!

Any machine shop could fab some up for you, though you may have to pay a pretty penny. I would start with a few rigging shops. Good Luck.

Probably pretty common in Europe or Australia.

I have ordered items from the UK and received them 5 days later - which included a weekend!

With the internet your shopping area knows no bounds.

Thank you guy's and you are right about the internet, my wife found someone to get all 5 from, for less than the machine shop could fabricate them for. So now on to continue bottom painting, or sanding for a few days, and then painting.
