Swivel jaw snap shackle?

[KompetentKrew]

Hello,

Anyone know where I can get a shackle like that on the left, please?

I'd prefer one with the screw-up fitting as it's to attach my dinghy to the blocks of its davits.

The only supplier I can find is Rope Services Direct, who tell me they can't ship to Spain. If necessary I can have mail forwarded, but I'm surprised to find these so difficult to source.

I think I also managed to find them for big money from Harken and some other quality suppliers, but these are not going to be under big load.

These and these are similar, but not quite the same. I'd prefer the screw-up kind - am I missing a search term?

Thanks in advance for all suggestions.

I recently bought a couple from S3i. Reasonable price but I don’t know if they ship abroad

Thanks, @Frayed Knot. I can find them on their site with a pin, but not screw fastening. It's a very acceptable alternative, but I'd prefer screw-fastening if I can find them,

I don't see any there with the screw fastening.

EDIT: nor there

No but there are two with clevis pins. Same function unless there is a specific reason for having a screw.

It's just what I'd prefer, I can't entirely say why. It's just what seems "right".

boom! boom!

We're back to post #1 again, then.

Here's one

And another

If you are missing the spring, pin and pull ring you can get replacements from ronstan.

Manufactures have changer to the clevis pin type as its cheaper/easier to make without the threads.
