Complete 1/4" turnbuckle for Seldén rigs. Includes toggle fork, stud terminal, and turnbuckle body. Note that the toggle length is shorter than on other 1/4" turnbuckles.

1) The lengths above are measured from the center of the clevis pin in the toggle fork to the end of the
standing rigging wire (~1/4" up from the flat on the stud).
2) One 16.5 owner reports that trying to use our standard left hand thread 1/4" T-bolt with toggle, #D1704, does not allow for proper rig adjustment on his 2014 model with a Seldén rig.
3) Some of the original turnbuckles supplied by Seldén used a T-bolt and toggle for the lower connection. The current design uses a marine eye with a pin pressed in and toggle which has a longer slot to allow rotation of the toggle. The fit and function of the different styles are the same, but the newer style do look different.
