I am replacing my t-bolts on my shrouds, it looks like all of them have some bend to them, some more then others. Anyway Im trying to figure the specs. I went to west marine, they sell the whole turnbuckle. I was able to size mine with one of theirs. It looks like a 1/4" bolt . My question is the t-top of my bolt measures 1/2" in diameter, thats twice the size as anything they have in the same bolt size. Looking thru internet vendors they list a "pin/jaw width" size of 1/4" which is kind of standard on the different sites. Has anyone that has changed t-bolts on a M-17 remeber having to downgrade to 1/4" pins?
