Hello Jeff:

I did the upgrade 1.5 yrs. ago, and I also have a
3 shackle car.  Just us what you need.  This was
actual a blessing.  I have a 1995 vintage C320 and
was able to improve the main sheet by adding a block.

I use the two end shackles on the car & the middle
shackle is empty.

Yes, you did get the correct car.

I ordered the Garhauer traveler upgrade on May 5th and just now received it.
After waiting all this time I'm a bit PO'd because it appears that Guido
sent me the wrong parts. The car has 3 shackles on it. Looking through the
pictures on the 320 site, it looks like all the previous conversions have 1
shackle. Has anyone else received an upgrade like mine? Maybe this is their
current version of the car, in which case I could take it apart and remove
the 2 extra shackles. I think I would rather have them send me the correct
piece and not risk having all the bearings fall out in the process of
modifying it.
