Harken traveller parts?

[Paramotorgreg]

I have just noticed that the shackle attaching one of the blocks on my Harken traveller has broken. It’s not an ordinary shackle but quite specific for this purpose. I have looked on the Harken website to find a replacement (I need 2 actually, because the other unbroken one is bent) but can’t even see my (20 year old) traveller there, never mind any spares for it.

Can anyone suggest where I can source parts for old Harken gear, or suggest a work around?

Have you tried calling Harken? They probably have one team of guys trying to keep the website current with the latest gear, and another team of guys who know they have 250,000 of these shackles in bin 348-49-293L on the third floor of the shop, across from the drill press. You need to reach someone who knows.
