Just reading up on shackle pins as I have one loose. The Dorset site has this from Terry and the Midlands club:

I've already got one suspension front link removed to allow direct link to front axle, but is the triangular securing plate for one shackle... to enable the spring to remain central.... something others have used for road cars?

It seems quite a simple idea, presumably a more rigorous version on some others' ideas of stuffing a bit of rubber between the shackle and the axle!
