Yes if you had a patter for that plate you'd be set. Take it to a CNC shop a get them to pump you out a few, I'm sure others would be keen for one.

Okay, I missed out.....what changed and those shackles are interesting. What is the smaller bolt under and behind the top bolt on the hangers? A stop/block mechanism?miller wrote:See Swerve, nothing that can't be fixed.. Tell the rumour mill not to worry themselvesmiller wrote:

Re: Miller's 1972 MWB
Just showing Steve my bent chassis rail. The shackles are the anti inversion type. You're right, the bolt stops the shackle inverting and jamming against the chassis.bosque wrote:Okay, I missed out.....what changed and those shackles are interesting.

I like the shackles...are they stock height? Who makes them?
...What do Australians put in their pockets that Americans throw away?

Re: Miller's 1972 MWB
So I acquired a soft top last weekend and on Wednesday I dropped it off to have the windows replaced.
It still needs a really good scrub as it was sitting under a guys bench in his workshop since the mid 70's!
Im a little disappointed they had to replace the webbing on the back window. If I had know they needed to I should have got it done in green to blend a little better. I also got them to repair a rip on the back flap.
