You could try Wheelspinmodels in the UK
or ModelsportUK
Thank you for help. Just checked in both shops and this parts are not listed.
I suppose it will take some time till they are available over here.

It's a standard 1/4" nut. I use the wrench from the Sears 10pc midget combo set. Item 42319teman wrote:What tb wrench do you use with these, a modern Lunsford?

Re: Retro turnbuckles
I asked Tower if they would be stocking them, so I could at least combine with a bigger order, their reply "At this time we are not showing we will be carrying this item. This doesn’t mean we may not in the future. We recommend checking our just released page as we keep this updated with new items we will be carrying."

Re: Retro turnbuckles
I'm curious about something...
Were these turnbuckles still a popular upgrade when the RC10 Worlds car came out? I'm thinking of "upgrading" one of my Worlds cars, but I don't know if these turnbuckles would be period correct or not. I've only seen them on the earlier cars.

Something clever goes here...

Re: Retro turnbuckles
From what i've seen they changed just before the worlds car came out as a few people ran the ealier big nut type ones at the 93 worlds but the later style ones were run at the 93 worlds also

Re: Retro turnbuckles
I found a source for Lunsford / RCPS style turnbuckles fitting RC10. I just wish they also made thicker turnbuckles in the same style for vintage racers.
