yea....I'm definitely not happy and planning to return them. It's funny ProTek turnbuckles are listed with a 4mm wrench size and I measure mine to be 3.5mm.
They also list them as grade 5...
"6AL-4V Grade 5
6AL-4V, or more commonly known as Grade 5, is a Titanium alloy mixture composed of 6% aluminum and 4% vanadium. It is significantly stronger than pure titanium but more expensive to manufacture. Grade 5 is the most widely used titanium alloy for its excellent combination of low weight, high strength and corrosion resistance."
Do you work for Lunsford?

I would like to thank Chad and Matt for the help on this.
Looks like the b5m top shaft would fit. Why would I do this? To use the avid Triad or Schelle slipper. Why do I want that slipper? So I can use a 69 or 72T spur gear that many others in the pits use, so if I need one at a place that doesn't stock Xray (No one in AZ does that I am aware of), there's a higher possibility they will have schelle or Avid.
You'll need:
B5M V2 top shaft
5x13x4 (Need 1mm shim then(available from TKO)) or 5x13x5 bearing for the front (available from Boca)
The difference in top shaft will need to be shimmed.

It seems like the Schelle V2 shaft is only sold this way?

The Protek's were not Grade 5 when I purchased them last, about a year ago. They COULD have changed manufacturers, but I have a feeling they hadn't.

Yea, I'll throw together some part numbers in a bit. I for some odd reason have a 5x13x5 bearing sitting in my stash - no clue where I got it from. I've owned several b5m's, a D812, D815, a D8TTE, MBX7R and a losi 4.0 in the last year, so I need to figure out where exactly it came from.
I had planned on using the TKO special 5x13x4 and just shimming the 1mm difference.
This is the top shaft Matt Trimmings measured:

I've met Kelly way back in the late 90s, also at Tacoma RC raceway. Gold cup I think. Awesome guy.
I wish they made an XB2 turbuckle kit. I couldn't see one.
I have a few sets of Lunsford screws and Turnbuckles and they have always been awesome. I so rarely break or bend either of them that I usually transfer between cars if I can.

Yes, I had to add washers on the front arms; the pin would slide right passed the screw head with no resistance whatsoever. My back arms were fine though.
