Got some nice Jate rings, the square ones of a fellow member and can fit one to the rear of the 90 as have a nice hole there to bolt it to, but on the front I have the steering guard, without recovery points, and that is in the way, makes the gap too wide for the rings.
Do they make wider ones for this purpose?
I can bolt both these to the rear, well once I have drilled a hole in the other side as that is a bit I have welded :wink:
-
Personally i would put both on the back + use them with a bridal to distrobute the load more evenly on the chassis and get some more suitable recovery points for the front. What ever you do, jate rings are best used as a pair bridaled, rather than just pulling on one side of the chassis.
-
What would you recomend for the front then, apart from buying a new guard with built in points, unless someone wants to buy mine so I can replace it I guess....

I have the fabricated ones from Discoparts and had to spread them to get them to fit over my steering guard.

depends how much your selling it for :twisted:

I have a NATO hitch on the back of my trialer and Jate rings on the front.
If you get a bridal to joint the two make sure that it is quite long as you need the pull to be forward.
If the bridal just fits between the two JATE rings the pull on them will be side ways and likley to nip the chassis or pull the welded Jate rings apart.
You need the pull to go down the main chassis rails or as close as possible.
