You didn't mention if you're working on a two seater or a IV?  I was just working on my IVPT, finishing up the rudder cable connections to the internal bellcrank system, and found the original turnbuckles supplied by Lancair with the kit are for cable attachment on each end.  The cable attach eye works fine for the cable, but it is loose and has less contact area (rounded) when placed at the bellcrank with a bolt.  I ordered the proper "eyes" for the two bellcrank attach points from Aircraft Spruce.  The links below will get you to the turnbuckles.

Original Post;
I remember there was a post in the past that showed a clevis looking device that one end attached to the eye bolt on the firewall and the other end attached to the rudder cable.  It appeared that as the cables stretched or you didn't get them drawn tight enough you could use this clevis which had adjustment bolts on it to compensate for the slack.


Does anyone know where I can purchase these items and what they are called?
