Re: Andymark rhino drivetrain discussion

The turnbuckles are in compression to keep the belt tight, not in tension. It would take quite a bit to get to the point where the eye bolts are opening. If things get that out of hand, the eye bolts opening will likely be the least of our worries....

As a suggestion, it would be a good idea to have jam nuts on one end of the turnbuckles to make sure they stay where you want them.
