Don't forget to post up piccys, rekon I might make one too. Or maybe I will weld a recover eye straight to the rear crossmember on the Series IIA :p :wasntme:

That one isn't solid, you can see with the corner radius that it's hollow.Quote:

Your main concern, keep enough metal around the shackle hole so it can't pull out. I know it's a common sense but you'd be surprised how uncommon it can be.
Can anyone help me out with measurements on this?Quote:

I have a classic rangie so mount geometry isn't difficult. But my rangie doesn't have those two side bolts. Are they standard late disco attachments or aftermarket?
Also for completeness, the protrustion of the square receiver (from cross member to end) and how far back the pin hole sits.
Cheers.
