Any idea of how to fit these?

muddyweb:
That's not a lot... only 1.3 tonnes.

Valid point Tim, but i think that is to do with the boss that the shackles mount onto. My 3.25t shackles are smaller then these.

muddyweb:
That was my thinking, most of my shackes are 3t tested, and they look about the same size.  Are they steel or ally ?

If the mounting boss *is* the weak bit, then it could be difficult.

Tricky.

BIG_ORANGE_90:
Oh they are steel alright the postage cost told me that alone.
Rimmer bros sell a bolt on boss for shackles but i wanted to keep them swiveling.
If all else fails i'll mount them on the quad.

I think there might be an extra part that slides over the shank of the thing as it sticks through the other side of whatever it's fastened to.  Am I making any sense?

Think of the retaining mechanism of a sliding brake piston, yeah, that bad!  This might be why they're rated so low, then again I have a shackle to fit my NATO hitch, it's huge but only rated at 4t.
