Recovery Points

(1/10) > >>

Bush Tucker Man:
I've got a set of LR JATE rings (part no; RRC3227) in the workshop & a (genuine LR ???) steering guard on the 110.

Now the guard doesn't sit flush against the chassis members, but has tubular spacers to either side (sorry no photo)
(I've got a copy of the Defender accessories catalogue in front of me, but there's not a good enough picture)

Anyways, there's enough lee-way to fit the JATEs, but do I attempt to cut the spacers in a straight line :lol: ??, or buy a bag-full of  thick washers of an appropriate thickness?

Also; I've got the rear recovery loop for the cross-member. Mines's got the long Dixon-Bate height-adjustable frame (& 2 sliders)

I believe it's got a plastic tank at the age of mine? (1999), is there sufficient room to get to a (24mm?) spanner the back of the cross-member & replace a pair of the bolts with the recovery loop???
It means I don't hve to carry a slider & hitch around if I need to tow anyone

V8MoneyPit:
I've got one of the recovery 'loops' fitted to mine. There should be plenty of space to fit it before fouling the tank.

Bush Tucker Man:
Thanks Steve, I'll admit I haven't looked properly yet :oops:

I'll have a browse & hopefully replace a pair of bolts with the Loop,can't see the slider going up that far really??

clips:
if you look on page 2 under jate rings to 90, (sorry dont know how to make a direct link) littlepow has pictures of how he has attatched jate rings with steering guard in place.
 i have had the same deliberations myself you see, genuine steering guard comes up fairly high but should have adequate spacing to fit rings, but i havnt got a pair to try and dont want to dismantle everything if it wont work.
 i'll be interested to see how you get on.

Bush Tucker Man:
'Clips'
Like in 'LittlePovs' post, I have a large spacer between guard & chassis, so can cut it/replace it
