Hmm sorry to hijack this thread.

You spend over £450.00 on your Ansmann Madrat?!?.

This is what you wrote on your sale section:

'if im honest wanting 300 for it due to spending over 450 on the car'

WTF is that all about?.

Hi Jamie.
Aluminium turn-buckles are rubish, they bend / snap as soon as you look at them.

For turnbuckles titanium is the best but decent steel ones are usually good enough functionally. I agree aluminium ones are not a good idea.

Default Lunsford

If you are willing to make the investment, lunsford turnbuckles are worthwhile, they proved useful in my cougar sv when I had one!

In the real word nothing will hold upto a "60mph" curb collision though.
