Wulffo, we call them turnbuckles in the US. I don't recall how many we've used in our Fokker D.VII but there were many. When I go to Kingsbury next weekend (Nov 2), I'll count them. I seem to remember that aircraft grade turnbuckles cost 6 or more dollars (about 6 Euros or more) each. The turnbuckles we used are not original Fokker products. They are interchangeable between aircraft and do come in various sizes.
