Thanks, Not doubting you but can anyone else confirm/

I will probably use 5 or 10mm plate on both sides of cross member then mount recovery ring on this.  Nato hitch would be nice  8-[

If you mean the two points marked in my photo, then yes, no problem. I've seen 2 Jate rings put through these holes and used for recovery.

I made up a u - shaped piece of 8mm steel and mounted a swivel shackle on the bottom of the u and the two sides ar ebolted top and bottom to the rear crossmember inside the rear bumper.
