Try Rigging Only.

Could also be toggles or plates used to raise the forestay for a furling drum.

I recall the plates as Tangs.

And you would be correct.

What I am looking for is general hardware, longer turnbuckles. We just moved the boat and had the mast down and it was very hard to get the rear stays hooked back up.

The length of the turnbuckle may not be the problem. If you tighten the forestay too tight, the rear stays may not reach the turnbuckle to engage.
Longer turnbuckles might not be able to tighten enough. The real question is, mast in column?

Check first here call the SBO Store for turnbuckles.

If no luck then try Defender in your neck of the woods.

you can use a toggle, much less expensive than replacing the turnbuckle. It attaches to the bottom of the t-bolt toggle and will give you an extra inch or two in length.
