Hi Gilbert- All I have is one turnbuckle with 1/2" t-bolts; the barrel is similar but not exactly the same as your photos. It looks to me that the most economical way to go would be to replace the toggle and the t-bolt (stud). I believe I can get these with no problem. If you would like a price, tell me how many and whether they are lefts or rights and I will talk to my supplier..

I am replacing my t-bolts on my shrouds, it looks like all of them have some bend to them, some more then others. Anyway Im trying to figure the specs. I went to west marine, they sell the whole turnbuckle. I was able to size mine with one of theirs. It looks like a 1/4" bolt . My question is the t-top of my bolt measures 1/2" in diameter, thats twice the size as anything they have in the same bolt size. Looking thru internet vendors they list a "pin/jaw width" size of 1/4" which is kind of standard on the different sites. Has anyone that has changed t-bolts on a M-17 remeber having to downgrade to 1/4" pins?
