...THAT is NOT a Turnbuckle!! It's a Support Trunion!
Larry, I can Machine a Turnbuckle for You, Same Length, HEX in the Center 1" Across the Flats (could go 1-1/8" on the Flats), and instead of turning the Ends Straight, Taper them to a nice seat for the nuts, Stronger!. A Beautiful Piece of Art in Stainless Steel. Just the Body, you'll have to find the nuts yourself, your good on the internet..
How much is it worth for Me to Machine it? I will be into it $40. for the Left and Right 14M 1.5 Taps.
I can Machine it Exactly as the Original, with the Hex in the Center, the hex will be Imperial (Not Metric) and I would go One 'Click' Larger, all around, for More Strength, and it would Look More 'Pronounced'. There would be a delay for Ordering the Hex Stainless Steel. I think I would Make a small Batch of these, for everyone who wants one.
