Replacement turnbuckles for stays?

[In The Pocket]

Hello everyone.  I'm starting to plan out all the repairs and refits I want to do for my 76' CP16.  One thing I need to do is replace the bent turnbuckles before sailing season.  One of the turnbuckles has a hardware store bolt and nut which is seized by rust, in place of the pin and ring setup.  Not good.

Does anyone have recommendations on replacement turnbuckles?  I'd prefer ones with captive key pin shackles for ease of setup.  Or at a minimum, a quick release shroud lever for the forestay as I usually step the mast by myself. 

Thanks

Wes

Following because I need a new stay turnbuckle myself.

While I can't find it again now, I did find a similar post where the best answer seemed to be taking your existing turnbuckles to a West Marine or similar store and finding a turnbuckle unit as close to the stock CP16 turnbuckle as possible.  I think the biggest thing to make sure is that the overall length of it isn't too short or too long otherwise you'll have issues getting the stays properly taut.

Second that recommendation. They fabricate the masts for Compac as well.

Good suggestions above, but you might also check Defender to see if they carry the part.

Tim,  I got a few replacement turnbuckles from Dwyer. Thanks for the suggestion.  They were great to deal with.
