Why, oh why...isn’t anyone making OEM spec shackles for these cars?
We can get every little detail to restore these cars but not this high wear critical part?!
I’m in the same predicament you are forced to try and find nice used ones for my Super Bee.
I’ve looked high and low at reproductions and used.
The repops are not even close in appearance or quality with thin side plates-cheap junk made in India or China.
Most original used ones are rusted junk unless you are lucky and can get some that aren’t worn out from the Southwest.
I put a request in with Desert Valley Auto Parts in Arizona for a pair of shackles.
Haven’t heard back yet but you may want to give them a try.
These are photos of the good originals on my ‘69 Charger
3 1/2” pin center to pin center
2 7/8” width between the shackle plates

I have a set of these shackles from Hotchkis. This might get you where you want to go. I bought mine from Summit and they don't have the Hotchkis logo so they look pretty stock on the car.
