Making rear recovery point

(1/2) > >>

Ok as per previous threads i have no rear recovery points....

This is what i am going to do, i have 100x100x5mm thick box section, 250mm long.  i am going to cut one side off to create a 'U' section.  I will then drill the 'U'channel to suit the upper bolt holes in the cross member for the tow bar, will then use one of these as a recovery point.....

swivel recovery points

Rear cross member is approx 80mm high so 'U' section will need packing out, was gonna use some extra nuts and and to reinforce the M12 bolts i was gonna use some extra plate i have various bits of 50x5mm

i know it is not perfect but opinions would be appreciated, i have no access to welding equipment and material is very limited

Criticise, congratulate your thoughts would be appreciated.  I have no other choice at moment

Sounds a lot of hassle when you could fit a couple of Jate rings...........
