help sourcing part

[grunt58]

I need to source the attatched part and haven't been sucessfull. It's a turnbuckle but I'm not sure if it's 2 seperate parts i.e. the pivoting ends and the hex ID threaded part or one complete unit.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks.

That requires the purchase of 2 appropriate heim joints (one left hand thread/one right hand thread), the appropriate nuts, and a custom threaded hex rod (left/right thread).

Thanks much!! Where can I get them? A search in Mcmaster Carr came up with rod end bearings similar but not the Heim joint suggest.

Thanks again.

A rod end bearing is a heim joint. Buy a couple of the rod end bearings and a turnbuckle with the same thread size. Throw away the hook/eyes that come with the turnbuckle and screw in your rod end bearings.
