Schackles for the tramp

Post by Mongoosemagic »

I need to replace one of the shackles on the tramp. It looks like it is a standard 1/4" long D shackle but the jaw opening is too small. I have tried to make the opening larger but a bigger opening means the pin won't fit. Any suggestions?

I recently replaced the nets on 'DreamCatcher' and did away with the shackles and used a Dyneema line. So far so good.
