Thread: Jate Rings

The one's I had made look like Defender 200TDI's, just not as pretty.

Zook I think you need to use them in pairs with a bridle between them to distribute the weight and then they are (hopefully [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] ) strong enough.

Disconut they are bolted up tight so they don't move

<span style="color:blue">the ones in the pic look like simple holden or ford leaf spring hangers....

but a stronger version.....</span>

I got them put on yesterday. They were a bit more trouble than I expected . I also put in raised Kings springs on the rear. They made a real difference.



The difference with the new rear springs

I can see what they look like - but am none the wiser what theyare for - assume it is a techo name for a tow point

That's right. Apparently the chassis on a Disco is not strong enough for a snatch recovery. If you use the two jate rings the load is spread betwen the two sides of the chassis and reduces the load enough that it doesn't rip the bolts out of the mounting points. Hopefully 8) :? 8O

I'm guessing it might be the second one. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

I had no idea what it stood for ops: ops: . I think they were originally designed for tie down points, but have been used for recovery since then.
