EXTENDED LENGTH
TURNBUCKLE
 
This item is like the standard PB2 turnbuckle.  The eye threading is #4-40 and the shackle uses a # 2-56 hex bolt, however the threaded length is 1 1/4" minimum.  This allows for more adjustment, and less chance of becoming undone due to high vibration during sailing.
The cost for this item ( PN: MYF-TB-PB2-XL) is $15.50 each, for quanities of 8 or less.  The added cost is due to more material and more complicitaed machining.
