I just recently purchased a new front spring shackle(U bolt) from one of the cherished suppliers. I have an Ulster Rep with a dropped front axle and a flat spring with seven leaves. When the shackle arrived, it was 1/4 longer than the existing ones, and the threads were 1/4 inch short. Fortunately I had a die and was able to add threads and then shorten the over all length of the shackle. I'm curious, are Ulster (rep) springs usually thinner than on standard cars?
