turnbuckles
Ben,
I will post out your parcel next tuesday as have been really busy this week. I need four of those turnbuckles, I have made four for the mortar carrier already, I purchased a set of 1/4" unf taps for the job, left and right hand thread. I can post the taps to you if you like. I made them on a lathe which i think is better than casting them, take a look and tell me what you think, two are made two are original Canadian. Kevin

It's the strap bases that rivet to the floor I'd planned on casting but it may be a toss up about the turn buckles, I'll hold off until I see them. Yours look good, the originals have a cast look about them. I'd imagine that during the war that it would take less time to cast a batch of blanks then tap each end rather than turn them but who knows!!! If you don't need them, then please post the taps. Ben

Hi, Is it possible to get the dimensions of the turn buckle pieces?
I have to make some too for my MK1. Thanks, Leo
