Shackles
I ordered a replacement front spring shackle and one side is a little longer than the other. Is this right? If so which goes where?

Re: Shackles
No, they should be the same if they are made correctly. Are they fronts or rears? Where did you buy them, as they sound poorly made?

Re: Shackles
Measure the ones you are replacing and get 2 that are the same.

Re: Shackles
Most all of the major Model A suppliers carry two quality levels of Shackles. I bought all four of the higher quality ones from Snyders. Well made and fit well.

Re: Shackles
Brent. Bought them from Snyders over a year ago. They were well made, but weren't absolutely like originals. I sent you a set of old original ones that needed restoration.

Re: Shackles
