Cusco turnbuckle?

Hey on any of your instructions do they have an option to buy replacement parts?

if not...

I'm working on fabbing up a replacement turnbuckle for my FSTB and I'm wondering if there is such a thing as a left turning nut to go on a left turn threaded bolt? or are nuts universal? I can get the turnbuckle to thread onto both ends (middles actually) of the FSTB but I can only get a nut on one side hence my question. In case there is such a thing and I need one, does anyone know where I can buy a left handed nut? (M18, 1.5tp), Will I need a left handed socket as well?

A very good fastener shop. Check your local industrial area.

Yep. Most industrial shops have a full compliment of reverse threading hardware.

Try McMaster-Carr if you can't find anything locally.

You can get left handed smoke-shifters there too!

When you figure it out PM me or post to let me know!!!

I could use one of those (the turnbuckle for the Cusco FSTB that is!) myself!!!

Where's a damn squirrel when you need one...

I've found a cousin in law that might be able to fab one up for me, I'm going up to see him this weekend if I can find some hex aluminum stock. We're probably going to make a few if possible. The tricky part now is finding some M18x1.5tp left turning aluminium nuts.
