Bronze Turnbuckles Needed
 

Ahoy All , currently my BCC "Calliste", is undergoing Tsunami damage repairs in Singapore.
4 of my Merriman 1/2" bronze turnbuckles and forks were bent. I need information on how to assess if the bends can be straightened, or to discard and replace them.

Also, does anyone have a source to purchase new Merriman turnbuckles and or jaw forks ?

I checked with Jamestown Distributers, they are selling ABI's , not Merriman.

It looks like I could purchase Merriman bronze bodies from Hayn, but not jaw forks.

Any ideas out there ? Douglas

Its a little late...
 

But I have some bronze turnbuckles left from my rig refit...I have sevral of each 5/8, 1/2 and 3/8 sizes. They are jaw-jaw and I also may have some toggles laying about in the bilges too.
Contact me on bearlin at optusnet dot com dot au Yep that means I'm in Australia at the moment so postage would be an issue.
Cheers
Andrew

Thank You, Andrew, for your reply to my search for 1/2" bronze turnbuckles and jaw forks.

These are getting very hard to find in the US , but Brion was able to sell me what I needed, because he had a NZ supplier.
