I looked at the link, and all those shackles are brass not bronze.

Thanks for the link but those are small. 5/8 or 16mm is for the bolt diameter I need. Unless I don't find bronze ones I'm forced to use forged SS which will have galvanic issue with bronze fittings they'll be attached on.

Hi Teddy,

Ording Blockmakers (Dutch) sells the below blocks without shackles.

But maybe they can tell where to get bronze bow or D shackles in the size that you want them ?
