Hi Guy's

After seeing the broken Shackel's on one of the guy's web site.( I think it was 4 ever 4 ) I looked thru my old stock and found my old shackel's from year's ago..

I think these were "Bulldog" from back in the 70's ?. I swapped out the rear, and am just about done with the front..I just don't want to take the chance of "one" shackel breaking !!.

I just wish I 'ed seen the web site of the busted "Foreign" shackel before I installed them..would of saved alot of work...but I'am feeling better I've got my old one in place...

And I thought that stuff from Argentina was bad year's ago !!!..

The good thing about the Argentine stuff was that you could not actually install most of it, so it presented no danger of failure on the road.

Bulldogs are good . Sometimes They go pretty cheap on ebay . I have bought 3 front sets and early orginial ford replacement ones without grease fitting. A bitch to drill for fittings but once you break the skin of then it is easy.
