Title: Extended shackle help
Post by: stratie on June 19, 2005, 07:16:11

Hi guy's, i have a set of lwb 109 shackles on my swb landy, do i need to put bolts in the middle holes?
If not, why is the hole there?

you should have a collar to space the shackle and a bolt to go through the holes/collar this helps to stop the shackle twisting as they are longer

as has been said there is a bolt with a sleeve that stops (or reduces) twisting on the shackle.   A couple of quid from paddocks should see you right.

neither Paddocks or Craddocks sell the bolts to go thru them though, so you'll have to source them yourself!!
