your straps are of the (later?) type. The turnbuckles I have posted go with the straps I was refering to. I have edited my incorrect post about the origin of the riveted verses spot welded variations.

Thanks Lynn
Once it arrives I'll look at making them. Shouldn't be an issue on the lathe at work. Richie perhaps we can pool our resource? Ben |

I have checked the threads.
Canadian turnbuckles use a 1/4 UNF thread British turnbuckles use a 1/4 BSF thread

Are you sure about the BA threads Lynn? I'm no engineer! But I would have thought the Brit equivalent would have been 1/4 BSF or BSW. 0BA is not far off 1/4" but more in use for instuments I think.
