C22 MK2 Turnbuckle size

[stonybrookpictures]

I ordered a few new turnbuckles for my rigging, I was under the impression that the originals are 1/4". When the new ones arrived they are bigger than the original and the pins seem to be a size larger than the original ones. Does anyone know the correct size turnbuckles and the size of the chain plate pins?
Catalina direct seems to imply that 1/4" is correct. I suppose I could have been shipped 5/16 turnbuckles by accident.

Best I can tell the ones I got are 5/16

The Catalina Direct website calls for 1/4". You might check your manual to be sure, assuming it lists the rigging parts and sizes.

I have found that if I order turnbuckles, pelican clips, etc. online, unless it is a complete assembly, I almost always get it wrong. So now I take part(s) to a chandlery or rigging shop to make sure I get the right size and thread. I wonder if that is an option?

1/4 - 28 to be exact-- at least on my '73.....

The deal was good, something like $12 per, they seem like good quality. Catalina Direct wants $48 per Part #: D2140 . Just unfortunate that they sent the wrong item, Guess i'll put off rig replacement until next yr.
