Having trouble locating alumimum turnbuckes for my splitter.The ones I have on now (and pretty beat up from cones) have 1/4" rod ends and adjust out from 3 1/2" to 5".

I thought they came from West Marine, but no joy there.

Know where I can find these? Thanks.

Randal,

Since you have 1/4" heim's, you can buy a left hand tap pretty cheap (from M-C) and make you own using aluminum tubing (or solid round bar). This way, you can make all the replacements you'll ever need. It helps to have a lathe to cut to length, square the ends, then tap drill and tap. It's cheaper in the long run.
