Dimensional Rules of Thumb:

Edge Distance = a+Dh/2

Grip = Length of shackle pin available for bearing against lug.
= Clear distance between shackle legs.

For Dp < 2":

Edge Distance = 1.5 * Dp

Dh = Dp + 1/8"

For Dp >= 2":

Edge Distance = 1.75 * Dp

Dh = Dp + 1/4"

For all Dp, t = Grip/3. Add cheek plates as required to get desired Pp.
Best practice is to add sufficient cheek plates to insure bearing over 80% of the grip.
