1952 M38 CDN STRIPPED SHACKLE THREADS IN FRAME

[boucher]

I HAVE BEEN APPLYING LOTS OF HEAT TO REMOVE THE SHACKLES, THE IN FRAME THREADS ON ONE ARE RUSTED BADLY AND THE NEW SHACLES FITS IN VERY LOOSE. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS????

THANKS, PETER (OTTAWA)

Replace the shackle insert with a new one!
You cut the old out out and weld in an aftermarket one and presto!
I just did three on my wife's frame.

Pete,

I did this on one of my shakle brackets and have walked several others through this. It is a lot easier than it looks and it saves you from having to cut the large rivets holding the shackle bracket.

Let us know if you need any help.
