Turnbuckle fasteners for Cigarette cockpit cover
 

Anyone know where I can buy these? A few of mine are busted and the rest are in pretty bad shape. Tried a few different metal cleaners/polish and they still look really dull. Was hoping to find exact replacements.

west marine, boat owners warehouse, almost any online boat store

Thanks guys....those ones from BoatersWorld seem a bit pricy compared to these :

and these:

The ones in that second link seem way too cheap and don't look like the same thing as whats on the boat now.
What do you guys think?

Not sure if these are the exact size or not, but http://www.mcmaster.com/ has them. Search button snaps and scroll down to get exact measurements.

Visit your local canvas shop . I'll bet they pay a lot less when they buy them in bulk .
I replaced all on my Top Gun for $20 cash .

Cool thanks...
This is what I found under fabric fasteners...

Turn-Button Fasteners

Use these fasteners to attach leather, canvas, and other fabrics to solid materials such as wood and fiberglass. Made from nickel-plated brass. To install, cut the fabric using the cutting punch (sold separately). Push the eyelet prongs through the fabric and use a small hammer to crimp the prongs over the washer on the opposite side of the fabric. Then, screw the stud base or screw stud (requires special hand driver , sold separately) to the solid material. Once installed, a spring holds the turn button under tension until turned by hand.
Eyelet is 1 1/16" Lg. x 13/16" Wd. Washer is 1" Lg. x 3/4" Wd. Stud base is 1 1/4" Lg. x 15/32" Wd. and has two holes for #6 screws (not included).
