When the headstay is shortened 12 1 /
4
" (311 mm) the turnbuckle will be one half to two
thirds open, allowing adjustment of the headstay length.
If necessary you may shorten your headstay up to 14" (356 mm), but shortening a wire
more than 12 1 /
4
" (311 mm) will limit headstay adjustment.
If the length of the turnbuckle being removed is over 14" (356 mm) a toggle must be
used to compensate. Be sure to change the headstay length measurement to reflect the
use of this toggle.
Length Check: Check your length by opening the terminal, removing the “cone”, and
placing the fitting on the wire. The distance from the center of the eye at the top of
the wire to the end of the stud should be equal to the pin-to-pin headstay length
less 8 1 /

rod, tap the turnbuckle up the rod to free the coldhead from the turnbuckle
and cut the rod at the correct point.

If necessary you may shorten your headstay up to 15" (381 mm), but

Use only rod adapter studs provided by Harken to insure the length and threads are correct.
Length Check: Check your length by placing the rod fitting alongside the rod with the
nosepiece in its proper position. The distance from the center of the eye at the top of
the headstay to the end of the stud should be equal to the pin-to-pin headstay length
less 8 1 /
