shackle plate dimensions

[TeZZaP]

Does anyone have the shackle plate dimensions for a 1957 88" series one? I have a bunch here, but don't know which ones are correct!

The overall length of the shackle plate? wouldn't the centre to centre of the holes be better?

I can get those measurements for you tomorrow, unless someone else comes up with what you need first.

Either would be a great help!

Got home late and measured these as best I could in the dark with a torch.

88" (1957) front and rear, 5" overall, 3 1/2" between bolt centres.

86" (1955) front, 4 1/2" overall, 3 1/4" between bolt centres.
86" " rear, 5 3/16" overall, 3 3/8" between bolt centres.

80" (1952) front and rear, 4 1/2" overall, 3" between bolt centres.

The shackles I measured on the 86" are not factory originals.
