As we are deleting the jack arm on the rear shackle, would you please detail and instruct a 3.500 centres shackle, similar to the one shewn on F.CD.928, with the distance between the jaws reduced to 2.300 to take a 2.000 wide spring instead of a 2.250. The bushes and pins will also require shortening in length to suit. The rear spring front anchorage bracket should be instructed to F.CD.217 and F.CD.901, as we do not wish to use the dropped front end of spring as shewn on F.CD.922.
