Turnbuckles on Hunter 1983 27"??

[ndaviesg]

Help,

Just purchased a 1983 Hunter 27' sailboat but someone has made off with the turnbuckles and hardware to
attached the shrouds and stays to the deck. Can someone please measure theirs and let me know or send a pics? Are they all the same or are the front and rear different from the sides?

Also if any one has these or knows a good source for them?

Much appreciated /George

Pretty sure that your standing rigging is all 3/16". But why can't you measure the studs on your stays and shrouds? Then you will know that you are buying the right size. You will need a body to match your stud and a threaded toggle jaw to attach to your chainplate: http://www.riggingonly.com/stdrig04.htm#TURNBUCKLES

P.S. just found this: http://forums.hunter.sailboatowners.com/showthread.php?p=65338&highlight=forestay . David , I, and others were discussing this ten years ago. You will want to hear from David on this score.
