For some reason I always seemed to have to redo the tension on my rig from time to time. So rather than use normal cotter pins in the turnbuckles, I used large stainless split rings. Which worked pretty well, and was quite secure, but did still sometimes catch on the running rigging.
Well a couple of days ago I got a copy of the new Layline catalog, and on page 45 (http://www.layline.com/prodinfo.asp?number=SCARP1810 ) they had something called SCAR pins. They are basically a cotter pin mounted through a length of two sided Velcro. You stick the pin through the hole in the turnbuckle, then wrap the Velcro around the whole to keep the pin in place. Pretty slick if you want to be able to quickly alter the tunning of your rig. If I still had Rag Doll I would definitely be using them.
