I understand that Alexander Roberts Co. makesthe open body turnbuckles previously made by Merriman. I could not find a web site for them but did find them listed in the Fawcett Boat Supplies catalog from Annapolis. They show both fixed fork ends and toggle x swage ends. Boy are they proud of them. Did you try any of the used parts places like Bacons in Annapolis. They have tons of old rigging parts both new old stock and used. Bacons is listed in most sail mags. and respond to telephone inquiries.
