Securing Turnbuckles

[Smitty519]

Thanks for the reply. I got most of that. What I don't understand is what keeps the body of the turnbuckle from backing off? I see how this would prevent the studs from turning, but what secures the body.

I really like the fact that this technique would free me from taping the turnbuckles to protect the sails from snagging on the cotter.
