The Novak would be a 410....

Graphitedust, I know of a shop that may have the stuff you need... It's Hagerstown Moped, they are located in Hagerstown, MD..local for me... call them at 301-797-5996. Make sure you ask for Mike he is the owner ad knows more than the rest of his entire staff about pancars..... They may be able to ship to you.... You coulds also call Garland's RC car land and hobbies, also from Hagerstown, he has an entire used car...same as yours..... he may be willing to part with if he still has it, their number is 301-216-4700.....
Good luck!!

Switchblade.. no you don't have to cut equal amounts off of each side of each turnbuckle, but you should cut both turnbuckles equal length, infact I would suggest only cutting the length off of one end..... Cut the length off of the threads that will be facing the outside this way the adjustment nut will be as far outwards as possible and easy to get to.

1. Arrange the turnbuckles so that the both adjust by tuning the same way.

2. Run a 4-40 nut on the side you intend to cut.

3. Use a piece of tape to mark where you want to cut.

4. Make your cut with a dremel cut-off wheel (preferred), hacksaw, or sidecutter (last option)

5. Remove the tape.

6. Unscrew the nut off of the turnbuckle , so that it acts as a die and smooths the threads out...

Hope this helps
