Pilot Paul 3 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I’m looking to upgrade the D shackles on my Bailey V4. I’ve been looking at bolted D shackles with safety pins for extra security. Has anyone done this? Any recommendations please? The current ones are 40mm long and 30mm wide. I also want to change the main carabiners too as it’s a second hand machine.

AndyB 421 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Search on Wichard for the best SS shackles. These are load rated at 600 kg AND are self locking ie the extra clip is still added, but not the primary locking device. These are the ones used on my current Air Conception machine. I think many others use them as well. https://marine.wichard.com/en/stainless-steel-hardware/shackles/self-locking-shackles/bow-shackles/part-1243?fbclid=IwAR0dlLJjzdiqjZ4sj6XIAVOVJ4oLYgdlNLLq085osPukeNEpIxOK7xdtCac Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is that right? Where did you buy yours from please? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
