Shackle connecting the tack of the main to gooseneck

[simonhayes]

Hi,

Does anybody have a make / model # for the wide and thin D shackle that connects the tack of the mainsail to the gooseneck ? Somehow in the process of raising and lowering the mast - the pin got bent so I need to replace it

I went hunting for a replacement at my local west marine but had no luck

thanks

I saw the same shackle in one of the catalogs I just got. I'll see if I can dig it up. Might be worth giving RiggingOnly.com a call, and asking them.

This may be a Wichard 1262 shackle. It would be worth checking out the measurements of this shackle against the one you have.
