shackle length - 78/79 series rear

Post by shorty_f0rty »

hi guys,

just wondering if anyone can take a measurement of their factory rear shackles off a 78 or 79 cruiser..

just wondering if they are going to be a touch longer than std on a 40.

thanks.

they are longer than stock 75 shackles, but they are also wider at one end than the other like a hilux shackle not straight like 40,60 and early 70 shackles
