dimensions of turnbuckles lowersa on Zephyr

I have been building a 1/24 scale model of my old Zephyr, Orca. Now that it is almost complete, the turnbuckles look out of scale and, as you all know, Willcox Crittendon info is nonexisting on the web (at least for this old crock). I believe that Forestay and backstay had larger turnbuckles and wire, and the uppers and lowers were smaller and were 3/8 W-C open barrel type. I need the barrel length and approximate width of these only. At the scale I'm using I can't get much fine detail into the model.
When the rigging is up to snuff, I'll get photos on this site, but I'm old and work slow and messy.
I hope somebody has this info. It will be most appreciated.
Thanks
