Thread: Front recovery point compatible with steering guard and bullbar

I went down to the local bolt shop and bought two chunky eyelets. I drilled two pilot holes in the bar on the inside of the chassis rails. And coz I love to over engineer stuff I found some 50x10 flat bar. I bent this into an L shape and then fitted it along the chassis rail and behind the bar. I then drilled through the original pilot hole into the bracket and then took bracket off so I could check I had enough clearance to drill the 25 dia hole needed for the eyelet. I did, so then I drilled the 25 dia holes and lightly screwed the eyelets on so the bracket was in it's correct spot. Then I marked out the bolts that went through the chassis which was for the bar mounting brackets and drilled those holes. Then I thought it's only picked up the top bolt so I welded another piece of flat to the bracket so it would also pick up the bottom bolt. so then drilled those holes as well, bit of paint and banged it all on.

I bought my Defender from Philco and it was (still is) fitted with his recovery hooks. They are pretty solid and decent in my opinion. Maybe PM him for info.

thansk!
coincidentally I found this post this morning and already PM him.

can you please post a pic of your fitment?
I would love to a set of those or probably two! just in case I buy a 90 in the future.
