Can someone ID these 'buckles for me please?

Older Lunsfords??? I've had this on one of my graphite team cars for a while, but not sure what they are really... thanks

Yep, Lunsford Titanium Turnbuckles.

They look like RCPS Ti...

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-

thanks all Sorry for not mastering all the subtleties of the english language, but shall I understand that you are saying pre-punisher lunsford's and rcps were the one and same product? thanks

obviously those on my car are one of the two

(the more I look at pics of that very car actually the more I think it looks good and deserves a proper restoration... mmmh... )

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's

thanks

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.
