Source for Metric turnbuckle

[JBP-PA]

I need a couple metric M10 turnbuckles for my Jeanneau Tonic. All I can find are imperial threads. I only need the body and lower toggle and I'd rather not replace the shrouds so I need M10 threads (lower RH, shroud LH).

Are you sure it is metric and not a fine thread? ¼” - 28 thread is very close to M10.

¼” - 28 thread is very close to M10.

Tell me about it.

Time to get hi-tech and invest in a cheap 1/4" - 28 bolt and check out the body thread.

I'll check. A M10 nut fits nicely.

The closest imperial size is 3/8-16, but that is clearly wrong.

Next to a M10 bolt.

Anything made outside of U.S.A. should be metric. Have you tried just using a tap and die to clean the threads?

I asked because I've gone the M10/1/4"-28 hole a couple of time.

Have you tried RigRite?

Any suggestions as to who to look at? I've found some EU sites, but search engines are tuned to return mostly US results. I know there is a way to tell Google i only want Canada or EU, but is have to look it up.

If you look closely at the first picture, you can see there aren't any threads left to clean up.

I think you'll find that an M6 is approximately 1/4. A M10 is just over 3/8.

I'll email RigRite, I forgot about them.
Thanks.
