Rustic.. Its not a rated shackle its the only one I had that was about the right size for the prototype. I would need to source a rated shackle then maybe get them tested??
Made this up at work and just wondered what your thoughts are?
It will replace tow ball hitches for an easy bolt on bolt off recovery point, good for the winter months if your involved in recovery's on a road going motor or a full on pay an play/lanning motor.

Pin and jaw are great but can be tricky getting pin out and are costly for a decent one! This can sit under a tow ball if you have a plate on your tow bar that allows different fitting positions.
While your on a design roll, it might be worth also considering a front mounted version too?

Had a think about this already, was looking at using the mounting holes on the chassis and replacing the standard recovery hook with a bar and shackle, ill try make a sample up this week and post a few picks :thumb2
It's nice and all BUT why not just take the tow bar off and use the existing recovery points on the chassis ? No tow bar to catch offroad then either
Very very cheap too :augie
