SouthDown Guards
datalas:
BTM, I'm unclear from your post what it is you're looking for, but ISTR that the Southdown rear tank guard (with recovery point) doesn't fit a TD5, due to the tanks proximity to the rear cross member.
It may be worth ringing up and asking to find out for sure.

I looked at the same system for a TD5 90, spoke to the nice people at Southdown 4x4. I was informed that they only produced these tank guards for pre TD5 models, as the cost of these for TD5 models would be considerably higher to meet all the new towing laws and regulations.

Basically, it's a continuation of this thread
I'm trying to source a suitable method of rear recovery that negates the need to carry the slider & hitch around.
A large shackle that fits snugly between the inner faces of the Dixon-Bate framework (on the securing pin) would be ideal.
The other idea (reason for this thread) was th SouthDown attachment for a shackle/rope, but as can be seem it locates upon both SouthDown pins & therefore needs to be at an angle - which seems unfeasible for my needs

This is roughly the set up that it looks like I'll have to use, simply on a larger scale (using the proper D-B pin as well :wink: )

Why not get a second slider with a pin hitch on?
