Shackle Straps for the CE Smith 3-1/8

Question:

Hi, I purchased 2 CE15502A and am looking for shackles that would mate up to it. I could fabricate something, but didnt know if theres something off the shelf that mates up to these square u-bolts.

We currently have two shackle straps that will fit the CE Smith U-Bolt part # CE15502A. For this you can choose from the Shackle Strap part # TRSL313 or part # 115208GALV. Both of these shackle straps have a bolt hole to bolt hole measurement of 3-1/8" with 9/16" diameter bolt holes. The above u-bolt has a 7/16" diameter bolt therefore the above shackles straps will work for you but the bolt holes will be slightly larger, 1/8" to be exact. The only real difference between the two shackle straps is that part # 115208GALV is galvanized (better for corrosion) and part # TRSL313 is just a raw steel.
