Argh! That first picture kills me...

For years I have been unsuccessfully trying to find a 1-7/8" Lunsford turnbuckle to complete a vintage set I have.
Something clever goes here...

I have a business trip to Portland early next year. I may have to sneak away or extend my stay and make a trip down to Lunsford.

It would be a very expensive set! Roughly $1.25-1.75 a screw. You would have to ask for the quantities you want.

See, I was on to something back in the 80's when I made one for my RC10. :P That thing can NOT be bent or broke...

Cool trip Jeff, thanks for sharing the pics 8)

I think, tentatively, I'll be there the 26th-29th of Jan and I'll be staying at the Monaco downtown. Should be fun.
