    There are a few options, Troutbeck Engineering make some as well as 4x4Discovery.com.au - "think outside ...".

    I have the 4x4intelligence ones. They are very well made and super strong!

    You don't want to mount onto bullbar anyway. Best thing is to get two recovery eyes, these attach off the wombat bar under the vehicle (when the tie down point is using the existing bolts on the chassis. You can then bridle two shackles for frontal recovery.

    Try www.troutbecksales.net - there a lot of others also selling these.

    Rosscoe,
    I've got a single recovery point (ie on one side) which replaces the on-road recovery loop that projects through the original bumper. I initially just beefed up the original recovery loop and replaced the bolts with high tensile ones. However, when at Bruce Davis' Performance Landys, they have an example in their foyer of a recovery point which has just ripped out of the chassis. They make (and I bought) a specially designed and reinforced arrangement which strengthens the chassis at the connection point. I think it was $500, which seems a lot, but decided it was better than the cost of repair if I ripped out the connection and, worse, couldn't recover my vehicle in the bargain if I was in trouble.

    Hi Rosscoe
    We have a set of D2 ARB recovery points donated to AULRO by member RichardK for fundraising.I believe after seeing pics of them they fit identically to the ones I made for my D2 with ECB bullbar.You will need to buy longer high tensile bolts as they mount to chassis as the bullbar does.

    If you want to make a fair and reasonable donation to AULRO we can do a deal.
    PS I will double check my bolt spacings with Richards recovery points before closing any sale,they are made to suit ARBs D2 bullbar.

    I'd love a tracing of that to see if they'd fit the P38A. If they do, I'll buy a set.

    I originally was after a Yican Axle Direct Recovery system but they aren't available:
