This has come up before on the forum but most of the suggested links are now dead.
I am after a 12mm Galvanised countersunk pin D-shackle with an Allen Key pin (or with the simpler square 'trawler pin') for my anchor but they are surprisingly difficult to find.
Plenty on EBay but of questionable provenance/strength. Plenty of stainless steel alternatives but I want it galvanised.
Grinding down a projecting pin version would be easy but would damage the galvanising and touching it up with spray is very short lived in my experiece. I would prefer a D-shackle to a Kong.
Any leads?
