The older RCPS and Lunsfords looked exactly the same, I think that Lunsford changed to the punisher's while RCPS's next link got absorbed by AE as the FT links for the B2-B3 era-

Yup, I would bet that they were made by the same company-

cool - I'll just say they're rcps then as it sounds cooler, it was cliff lett's company, it's dead and all, as opposed to lunsford who's still around and does stuff for anything from t-maxxes to Baja5B'sCharlie don't surf wrote: Yup, I would bet that they were made by the same company

Re: Can someone ID these 'buckles for me please?
i don't know who originated that type of turnbuckle. but there were 2 or 3 others that were copying that type of turnbuckle during or before lunsford. i'm always wary when getting a set of rc10 turnbuckles....
here's a header card i have from one of them.
