Identifying 5/8" Turnbuckle

I broke another one of these. Does anyone know the brand? The last replacement I bought doesn't match and doesn't go as long in length. The replacement had to doe-see-doe with another so it could be used.

5/8" pin and thread with 17"/430 mm to 26"/660 mm adjustment. I'm looking to change all of them so another style/brand doesn't bother me, it would be nice to keep the same.

Re: Identifying 5/8" Turnbuckle

Greetings and welcome aboard the CF, Andrew.
I don't see any markings in your picture. Is there a logo on it?

I just had a look at your profile to work out where your yacht is. Is it in the US of A?


Stainless

Bronze

You couldn't say the turnbuckle is really open but it is not closed?

Is it bronze or stainless steel?

Re: Identifying 5/8" Turnbuckle

No markings or logos visible. Jazza was build in Brisbane Australia in 1991 with these stainless steel turnbuckles. She has been in Townsville/Magnetic Island her whole life. I have scrolled through the google images a fare bit with no luck. I like the look of the Hayn units but I don't think they will go long enough. I may end up using Ronstan open turnbuckles with extensions but I'd rather these if I can find them.

Jazza is fine. A stink boat sank in the channel, likely full of rain... So much rain over the last few weeks. Mould is growing mad.
