I am almost ready to reassemble my M-100 trailer; tub is at the sandbasters as I speak... Knowing that the spring shackles are the same for the M-38 and the M-100 I am posting here to up my chances for a response...
I need to find some rubbers that go on the spring shackles... I cannot see buying new shackles when the ones I have are in good shape save for the rubber parts.
Any help would be appreciated...

Hal,
I am a little dense today, but could you post a photo to clarify what you are looking at?
Thanks

Ryan,
On the "C" shaped shackles between the frame and the springs are rubber oil seals. On the M-100 trailer there are the same shackles used, my shackles are in good shape, however the rubber seals are shot...
Hope this helps...

Hal,
The 1951 M100 ORD 9 and 1972 M100 IPL TM 9-2330-201-14 I have both call for the seal as part number 7328323, Lt U bolt 7371090, Lt bushing 7328324, Rt U bolt 7735833 and Rt bushing 7328325 and the M38 ORD 9 calls out seal 7697602, Lt U bolt 7371090, Lt bushing 7697596, Rt U bolt 7735833, Rt Bushing 7697598 so there must be a little difference.
I believe you are looking for item D.

Hi
The rubber seals alone are available from Brent Mullens Jeep Parts. You do not need to buy complete shackles.
