you must have a smaller rod :D

are yours 4 3/4 tonne ?

Edit : I cant even go and get a 22mm Metal drill bit as it wont fit in the chuck.

Strewth!:eek: Surley that's OTT !
You'll rip the recovery thing off before those buggers give:bow
What about a strop between the two points then put those QE2 fittings on that:cool:

Yea I made a slight mis-calculation on the sizes but hey I have them now and that whats going to be fitted.

wanted stainless ones but I couldnt find any that were up to spec

what i need now is huge nylon washers to stop them rattling

2" diameter with a 3/4 hole if anyone has any kicking about :-)

Ok i need to make my own washers :-)

get some 2" nylon rod and cut / drill to suit,:naughty:lol

You should be able to get a 22mm bit with a reduced end to fit your chuck on the drill.
A engineer supply shop should have them


Don't drill out to much otherwise you could weaken the bracket ?
They were made that size for a reason ;)

Why not just put them on when you need them, saves the rattling sound :)

When you get some nylon rod you can cut 50mm chunks off for a body lift:thumbs
