Sound like they are Number 12-24 which probably are old WW2 surplus. Theyare not very common anymore.

Dick,These are 12-28 thread and are an ancient AN spec. If you notice both thecurrent -22 and the -32 turnbuckles use the 1/4-28 thread. The 12-28 wasthe old -22 (2200 lb strength) but since industry has pretty much abandonedthe 12-28, the 1/4-28 was the next size up with suitable strength to handlethis load. It is practically impossible to get even the cutting tools tomake anything 12-28. especially in LH thread.Since I have a lathe and can make custom barrels, I will offer to take themoff of your hands for a reasonable price. How many do you have, whatlength--shorts or longs?Chris Bobka-----Original Message-----

You guys amaze me. Someone comes up with a 60 to 70 year old piece of a turnbuckle and you have literature and specs on it!!??? Are you sure you're not making this stuff up:-) Now will someone tell Dennis what a 325SF and a 326SF turnbuckle is and not to braze 4130 steel. Just kidding, sort of.

What's the going rate for a set of laser cut parts from Stenson? $1,400from Replicraft sounds likes a lot especially when they don't deliver. Iwould hate to think that the "value add" of actual delivery would push theprice higher than that.Robert HainesDu Quoin, IllinoisP.S. - Nice aeroplane, Corky.
