    My shackles are held in place with a grade 8 5/8" (at least) bolt. Do you know where I can get a 5/8 wing nut?

    Why do you need a nut? The shackle should be threaded on one side

    Those threads do get in the way, but I used the biggest bolt that would get through them. Mine attach on the outside of the shackle as oppose to inside as designed.

    If you look at this pic with your brightness and contrast all the way up I think it is visible. Black on black in a shadow is never good for clarity.



    ...don't forget to tilt your screen just right.
