Chris,The only way I know how to tell them apart is to measure them. Look in theAircraft Spruce catalog to see the dimensions and just measure the ones youhave to see what size they are.Used turnbuckles should be safe as long as they don't show signs of beingdamaged. Metal fatigue shouldn't be a problem since they are loaded only intension, never going through a reversing load (fatigue is caused by loadingwhich goes from tension to compression for millions of repetitive cycles.If it never goes from tension to compression, it can't fatigue). If thethreads are stripped, pass on them.Jack -----Original Message-----Can anyone tell me how to identify what size a used turn buckle is? Do theyhave grade-stamp markers on them like bolts do? How about an AN# on them?Are used turn buckles safe?Chris TracySacramento, CA________________________________________________________________________________
