Recovery Hoop - Part no: NRC5396

Spacer/spreader - Part no: 562756

Bolts - Part no: NH116041L (need 4 of)

Washer - Part no: 4233 (need 2 of)


Have got a feeling the spacer bracket is more than the hoop itself!!!

Sharpshooter:
The problem with a tow ball, is that a rope has the ability of slipping of at angles. If you fit a loop and a shackle, it cant really come off.

Jim-Willy:
I think i'll go for the spreader plate and new bolts for the towball.  That loop looks a bit mickey muse to be honest.

It's a fair bit thicker than a JATE ring & probably as strong

Instead of a 50mm ball, why not use a towing jaw? The rope can't come off.
Big (thick) ropes can on a ball

Thanks 'Porny', it saves me digging out the old LR receipt folder down in the snug
