Hi ,
Is the bumper on the D2 trimmed for the Jate ring ?
Just installed Jate ring on the rear of my D2 and found out that the bolt is much smaller than the hole on the chasis . Is this normal ?

I personally would not use jate rings because the shape of them leads to far from ideal distribution of stress and loading on the bolt IMHO. They grate against my sensibility.Quote:

Not sure if there is anything here on the recovery points fitted to the Series 1 Disco on the LR factory bar. Mine has as, per the pictures, a plate on either side that is around 8mm thick with reinforced eyelets on it.
The plate is bolted to the chassis with two bolts on either side, holding also the wombat bar.
The bolts look dodgy and I will replace them to hopefully accommdate the recovery points I have purchased of Ladas on the outside of the chassis.
I don't really trust the ones on the LR bar as a recovery point, however I would be interested to hear other's opinions.
