Colored turnbuckles/tie-rods

Post by Toasted Coastie »

I've searched and searched. Can anyone point me in the right direction for green turnbuckles? Looking for 55 mm and 45mm....

Just for the record, green seems to be one of the least common colors for turnbuckles...I know from experience from my own searches. :?

Yeah, they are out there, GPM makes them (which is pretty much the same company as Hot Racing, which is pretty much Hobby Etc. in Nashua). They have them in 60 and 65mm, so I emailed Hobby Etc to see if they can get them in the lengths I need. Who knows....

that's threaded pipe. I'm not entirely sure that would work. However, I have an alternate route I can use,, just don't want to have to go that way.
