Andrei, Look for 'jaw body only turnbuckle'. One side has the jaw to connect to the chainplate and the other accepts the shroud. The trick is going to be to find one small enough for 1/8" wire.

The trouble is that the part I need is only half of a turnbuckle; I suspect that if I buy a regular turnbuckle it will be too long for what I need, even with all the adjustments at the shortest setting. Does anyone happen to know what this "half-turnbuckle" is called? If I knew, I could try to find someone who sells something like this.
Thanks,
Andrei.
