Restoration Qs...Shackle's

[d.j. moordigian]

This question is a " Fine Point question ". In the photo below, are high
dollar very early 28 double Ford script shackle's, they are also VERY worn.
For the past 3-4 years I have thought about HOW to repair shackle's. The
only way I can see is, weld them up with a TIG, then turn them between
centers, with a dog and a long boring bar. Anybody out there repaired
shackle's and how?
