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?
