Profurl NC42 Link Plates

Hello, I am looking for a set of longer link plates for the NC or NCI 42. Trying to add a turnbuckle to the forestay.

Thanks

I ended up fabricating mine. Order McMaster stainless, bend in a vice and drill holes.

IIRC, Pompanette in FL may be the distributor in the States for the ProFurl components. I have an LCI32 with long link plates. I really like it, clears the foredeck for the anchor and gets the tack up enough to see below it.

There is a weld nut that make it a little harder to fabricate, so trying not to make them from scratch. The project list on this boat is a long and wide...

They are, but a bit overpriced even for a boat imo. I can have them made local for less.

Agreed, and for a lot less. So you kinda answered your own question.

Drill and tap the thread instead of the pressed nut. One of those nuts keeps falling off on my LC42. They are 1/4" plates. Fine thread did just fine for me.
