Those black one's I used on one job, they are ok for light use, but I had to 'weld' them together with the hot knife as they tended to come apart & if the customer is a bit heavy handed they don't last long  :-X

Common sense fasteners.  Bainbridge, TriVantage, pretty nearly every supplier for the marine trade will have them.

i call them turnbuckles in the UK

If i said common sense fastener nobody would
understand what i meant.
