I don't think your club understands welding. Nor do they understand the Discovery recovery points, which are stronger than any aftermarket bolt on recovery points. Bolts in shear are much more likely to break suddenly and catastrophically than properly designed and constructed welds, such as those used on the Discovery recovery points.
Do not under any circumstances remove the factory points and replace them with something weaker and more dangerous in a snatch situation. One of the bolt on brackets flying through the air is much heavier and more dangerous than the light weight welded rod on the front of a Discovery if you want to use that argument. I don't think anyone on here has ever broken one, however, despite many having a good go at it I'm sure.
