    Stop running your mouth for a second and think about it, it's all there, laid out in front of you.

    1: Jate ring not designed for shock loading, possible cracking leading to failure (unlikely)
    2: Will ruin the bumper bar when it pivots up (guaranteed)
    3: possible shearing of bolt as for the Jate ring to work correctly it would be unable to be clamped up (bolts are designed to be loaded in tensile, not shear.) (possible in freak accident like I have experienced)
    4: Tearing chassis (as above).

    For a recovery point I believe it needs a minimum of two mounting points, preferably in double shear with high tensile 1/2" hardware. But I don't know anything compared to Clubagreenie, I'm only training to be a Mech Engineer.... [funny that we seem to agree, though... ]

    Keep this in mind... From another forum.

    A member there used Jate Rings for recovery.

    Except that was defender, no crush cans to shear so actually a preferable result.

    Have a look at these.

    Rigging standard so far greater safety margin.
    Members have used these on vehicles to great effect, pics in next post.

    I prefer these,

    RUD VWBG Swivel Ring Bolt - Nobles | Lifting and Rigging Suppliers



    I'd use (if I could afford it) the M24 @ 3.5T. But 4 of at $$$ = danger to the wallet.

    For cost, the M12 starpoint rotating eyebolts are over $150- ea. And they're only .75T

    Cluba, what's the cost of those eyelets?

    Pics! We all love them...





    Vehicles belonging to Tombie, Defender now owned by another member here. Note the recovery points?



    Vehicle owned by forum member who lives in UK. Note the recovery points?



    Vehicle previously owned by forum member Shepp and Psimpson7. Note the recovery points?


    These are the types of recovery points you want

    Your trimmed front bar won't last long in most offroad
    But it should be easy to find an engineering shop who will manufacture you some suitable replacement crush cans, perhaps find an ARB bar fitting kit, in which you can have a solid base for some swivel eyelets that will fit through your plastic stocker.

    This is where the gadget I mentioned at the end of my first post comes in.
