Jate Rings

**Andrewpv01** · 18th November 2005, 09:10 AM

I have just had a pair of jate rings made up for my Disco [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img] .
Does it make it any weaker if I bolt them on top of the steering guard instead of bending it out and putting the jate rings underneath (directly onto the chassis)?. They are only held by one bolt so I don't think it should matter

ops: .
It seems like everybody else has bent the steering guard to fit recovery points under it. Is it worth the trouble to do that?

Thanks
Andrew

Hi Andrew , now this is just my opinion and dealing with fabrication for a long time . the jate rings you have seen dont bend much so its easier to bend the steering guard over them thats about it there is no strength lost as the bolt is doin the work and as long as u put a grade 8 bolt or better in there and its kept tight you will be fine

When I measured up the jate rings I made it so that it would fit over the steering guard. Since then I have been thinking of putting a slightly thicker plate underneath (against the chassis) that goes between the two bolts. Would it make it any stronger to do do it that way - or it wouldn't need it?

Thanks
Andrew
