Shackle difference; original versus new

[hemi68charger]

Here's a picture of a comparison of the new shackles out there for our Mopars and the original... I can take my grinder and widdle away some of the material to make the indention longer and closer in looks to the original... Luckily it's not the other way around.. Would be sort of hard to add material.......

1. before I cut away on one side
2. after I trimmed one side up.. Came out pretty good.. Will never be perfect, but hey, it's ok......

Looks more beefier. Mine weren't quite as bad so I blasted and powder coated them.

Added an 'after' pic in the original thread..

Looks like the original almost.  They seem a little longer too.

Yeap, I'm going to shave off the ends as well... I'll get it close enough for government work.......

Looks good. Are you going to clear them?

Yes, I'm going to give them a satin clear so they aren't too glossy... Should look OEM and have corrosion control................
