rear spring shackles

[ampwhu]

could anyone tell me the diameter of the pin in the rear shackle?

[philthehill]

The pin bearing surface is 1/2" diameter x 1 3/4" length and the pin is 2 7/8" overall length
The threads can be either 3/8" BSF or 3/8" UNF.
If you are purchasing new pins - the pins with UNF threads have a much better finish

thanks as always phil.

Whilst overhauling the suspension on my 1966 2 door saloon I would like to replace the shackle pins (and eyebolt pins) using UNF items as recommended. I'm having some trouble finding a supplier for these pins although there is plenty of choice for the BSF types, and at least one supplier for UNF trunnion pins. Suggestions welcome.
Peter.

Bull Motif appear to have them:-

Pt No: SUS105.

Whilst it is listed as a eye bolt pin they are one and the same as the rear spring shackle pin.
Ask and confirm the thread before placing the order.
