    Finally mounted the gunnebos onto the front of Basil - a mate at tech made up some steel plates to bolt in behind the bumper - should go ok. Also got the towball off the back so will use a shackle there.

    Great looking SII!

    Can you make the front hooks sit horizontal, not vertical? I would be worried about catching one offroad.

    On the rear, most people just use a pin (e.g. made from a grade 8 or class 10.9 bolt) that is held in place by a split pin. Your setup should be fine, but a pin will load the attachment bolts more uniformly.

    Thanks I.R.

    They spin through 360 degrees, so the only way I can see them being horizontal with the bar is if Basil is on his side....which is not that hard to conjure up in my minds eye...

    The bar isn't wide enough to mount them any higher....

    join with a big shackle and you wind up with something like this



    I used 2x 1.5t bow shackles to join both sides of the chain to a 3.5t bow shackle in front of the upright.

    1 per chassis rail with a bridal strap.

    series Recovery point complete.(works on all leaf spring suspension that has the spring shackle at the outer most side of the chassis)

    total cost $25
    Hi Blknight.aus,
    Could you repost the image of your recovery setup? Not having to fix questionable jate rings or d rings sounds appealing to me

    As people cannot edit old posts, I'm happy to reinsert the images into their posts if they send them to me.

    Would this style work or be strong enough? I bought these ones off this cut-wing but never fitted them to my County.
