If you have to ask, then I strongly suggest you don't.
For the health of yourself and the general public.

Obviously there is some confusion over the word shackles. I'm thinking you mean spring shackles in which case 10mm mild steel as said will be good.

If on the other hand you mean recovery shackles then as a wise Mafia boss once said.....forget about it.

spring shackles. damn 10mm is overkill.

do a search of the zook section. 6mmm u channel or flat bar is ok or 8mm flat.

yeah, the ones I made for my cruiser are 10mm, I guess u dont need that gauge for an itty bitty zook.

Pins should be 4130 or equivalent, induction hardened.
Mild steel plate is OK for sides.

Bazzle

haha lol they are for spring shackles

ill buy my recovery gear thanks yes they will be rated

cheers guys

i bent 8mm flat on my zuk(shackle reversed so it was not from banging them on rocks)

but it got into some pretty awkward places
