Looking at the TM 9 parts manual from the download section I just want to make sure I understand it correctly as Im still learning how to read the ordinance part numbers, after serial number MD 11440 they did away with the two left hand threaded suspension U Shackles and used all right hand. Getting ready to order a set with the reinforced side plates for a 1953 and just wanted to double check. Thanks _________________ Jason

My M38A1 was built 10/52, and I recently ordered a set from John at MW Military that include two with left-hand threads. I suspect he would know what you need and have them on hand. You can count on them being quality units. _________________ Tim Juhl

MD11440 is the correct switch to all right thread shackle bushings in the M38A1 ORD 9 SNL G-758. However it is a bit vague in that it doesn't appear to list a left hand threaded U Bolt. It does show the two left hand threaded bushings (bearings) thru MD11440 and it does show only right hand threaded bushings (bearings) after MD11440. _________________ Wes K

Yes Tim I have ordered from Midwest Military great guy to deal with. Thanks Wes for confirming that. Guess all the pictures and infomation I saved from this website regarding left hand shackles wI'll not be needed in my case. looks like I will be ordering all right hand shackles. _________________ Jason
