So what we ended up doing is using a double jaw toggle that is 1/2" on top and 5/8" on the bottom. The 1/2" side had to be pressed so that 5/8" pin fits flush. The 5/8" pin is used to attach to chainplate. I think my problem is that N31 might not be suitable for my inner forestay. That might be why lower unit cannot be slid down over the turnbuckle stud, even if i remove the turnbuckle. My head stay is LC42 and it has 7/16 wire and 3/4" pins. That lower unit can slide over the turnbuckle stud. Perhaps I could have went with 1/2" turnbuckles and pins. 1/2" pin hardware is available for 5/16"(8mm) wire and I bet N31 lower unit will slide over the screws.

I was wrong, As i was assembling the lower turnbuckle today, I realized that lower unit CAN slide over the 5/16" wire screw.
