Bumper 'D' Rings

<< < (4/6) > >>

Bush Tucker Man:
I had a pair on my 90CSW-V8.
They were mounted using the bumper bolts, then a shaped spreader plate inside the bumper.
Admittedly the bumper won't take a large load, but every little bit helps

Andy the Landy:
Cheers for replies chaps :D
Ta for your input datalas regarding high tensile bolts - I'll change them at work tomorrow and make some spreader plates :wink:

that, and there's no point in galvanising it either....

--- Quote from: "Steel" ---This might seem like a silly suggestion, but why not just keep it like it is, and, well, if the bumper gets ripped off, just replace it afterwards.  :lol:

i take it you have never seen a recovery point snap and come flying towards you at a stupid speed?

i have my recovery pints drilled through the chassis on the front and then a 8mm spreader plate, not only does it act as the spreader plate but also as a bumber strengther, great,

now have them on my custom made rear bum,ber and have done the same,

see pic below.
