Typhoon Turnbuckles
I've been searching the archives but can find any info on turnbuckle size. I have 1/4 " for the sidestays but larger ones for the fore and backstay. Are they 5/16"? They aren't marked and I need to replace the larger ones. Mine are opened body, no roller furling. Anyone have the sizes???
From the 1981 Manual
According to the 1981 Manual, the wire is 1/8" all around on the Typhoons, so the turnbuckles would be sized accordingly.

sizes
an easy way to find out is to use open end wrench's like calipers and find the one that it fits into snugly.
