Bronze piston hanks

[bilbobaggins]

I've unearthed some of these, 4" long, with more details on the For Sale page, and would be interested if any forumeer can shed any light on 'em.

I would call those snap shackles, not piston hanks.

Does this throw some light?

I have a few on my boat, but not 4", more like 2.5" /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Should I express some gratitude at the re-posting of a photo of my very own snap-piston-shackle-hank, would that be getting dangerously close to Self-Induced or Auto-LakeSailoring...?

Or not, as the merits of the case permit.

Well, thanks to the photographer, anyway!

You're missing the magic of Photoshop.
You asked "would be interested if any forumeer can shed any light on 'em."

I have done just that by applying a spotlight effect to the picture, it's not just a vignette you know.

Can't help some people /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
