Customworks Titanium turnbuckles

Post by RichieRich »

I've purchased Customworks titanium turnbuckles many times in the past and they appear repackaged Lunsford. I swear we've had this discussion here in the past. OR, I'm just getting old and not remembering. I bought more titanium turnbuckles from Customworks recently and they appear to be similar but different than the Lunsfords. Does anyone know who their supplier is now?

I really am only guessing here with no real evidence to support this but I had to wonder if it is Tworks?
I come for the RC10's but stay for the Yokomo's :P

I don't think it's Tworks. Both of these were sourced from CustomWorks. They look different. The steering one is clearly Lunsford. The upper link is ?

I have several Lunsford that have varying widths on the center section.

Just came across these which might be them.

Looks like a good alternative to Lunsford.

I like Acer stuff. Just note that the turnbuckles are priced individually, not as a set.

And some of their stuff is cheaper on their Ebay store, especially for smaller orders.
Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.
