rear recovery point?
« on: June 13, 2010, 21:15:45 »
would an m20 eye bolt through the top centre of the draw bar with a 10mm spreader plate on the back be strong enough to use for recovery purposes?

i'm not convinced by jates as they are a tad out of the way when up to the guts in mud, and riding about with a bridle on the back is asking for bother. i do use a jaw for towing but it is on a 1.75  inch drop plate so would not stand heavy snatching. hence the idea of a dirty eye bolt to fit a farmer sized shackle onto.
any thoughts welcome.

Should be, what is the rated load on the eye bolt?

That's it's rated load, it's fail load will be higher and I doubt many of your strops will be stronger so I'd day it's more than enough.
