Yokomo turnbuckle shaft size?

Post by Frankentruck »

Does anyone know what size Yokomo turnbuckles are? 4-40 or 3mm threads by any chance?

The Yokomo ones I've purchased have all been 3mm I've also used lunsford ones which are 4-40 which is broadly the same when it comes to screwing into ball joints.
:shock:

I saw Techno listing their turnbuckles as 4mm then the thread as 3mm and wondered if Yokomo was doing the same thing. :?

Other possibilities...

CEN:

CQ0310 is a steel 3x25
CQ0313 is a steel 3x52

Integy:

C29050 is a titanium 3x26
C29057 is a titanium 3x52

Schumacher:

640203 is a titanium 3x20
7318 is a titanium 3x53

Acer:

43721226420472 is a titanium 3x24
43638996861176 is a titanium 3x52

Associated:

1418 is a titanium 3x21
1406 is a titanium 3x51

Ok.... so I cross-referenced the instructions for a YZ-2T:

Yokomo YZ-2T copy.JPG
Yokomo YZ-2T copy.JPG (7.49 KiB) Viewed 203 times
Yokomo YZ-2T English.JPG

Which shows the same "4mm" spec... then I took a caliper to one of the YZ-2T's I've got and the turnbuckle shaft measures out to 2.8mm

...Apparently the US isn't the only one with a standardization problem :roll: :wink:
