I got mine from the local farm/tractor supplies outlet, cheap but strong enough to tackle industrial/farm type of work, so no problems with the weight of a landy etc.

Thorburns ltd, you must have some similar outlet in your area. The other option would be mail order from paddocks or craddocks.

D44 sell rated shackles from around £1.50 for a 2T to around a fiver for a 6T one ...

not that it answers the question much, since they're not in shropshire, but thought it might be usefull for comparison

Just think of the industrial heritage of Shropshire and the Black Country. There's got to be someone still in that area making all sorts of cool things you didn't know you needed.
