Hello Jason, thanks for reaching out. The Brophy Pintle Hook # BR27FR you mentioned requires a lunette ring with a minimum inner diameter of 2-1/2". If your ring is only 2-1/4" ID it will not work with the # BR27FR. I am afraid we do not have anything comparable that will work with the smaller lunette rings.
The next step here would be to look at swapping out your lunette ring for something more standard.
For example the Cure Lunette Ring # C48560 which is a bolt on installation and will work with the Brophy # BR27FR. If you need a different mounting style for the lunette ring just let me know because we should have something for you.
