Popular Post FridgeFreezer Posted January 30 Popular Post Share Posted January 30 Not sure I'd be trusting my life to anything from Amazon, thought this was a bit of a classic if only for the illustrations clearly done by the work experience kid with a copy of Potatoshop and not a single clue... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CJJC5R89 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonimouse Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 The blue string isn't poly-prop rope, it's Viking synthetic rope or a very good copy I'm loving this new concept in recovery though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted January 31 Author Share Posted January 31 I'm still amazed that with all the knowledge on this forum no-one's ever pointed out that Defender steering bars double as recovery points 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peaklander Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Come on then, enlighten me. For someone who has never seen any recovery, other than with an old fashioned tow-rope in the olden days, what is the doughnut thing supposed to be used for?

They can be used like a snatch block, so attachment point through the middle and then winch rope round the outside and then back to the winch vehicle or other anchor point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaklander Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Ah OK thanks Ross. The winch rope slides around it, as it's pulled in and the other is a fixed length. Nothing at all like the manufactured picture then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pat_pending Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I think the scariest thing is that they can machine it from a billet of 7075* and sell it for £11 and make a profit. *Allegedly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of me is tempted to get one and get the inspection guys at work to point the PMI gun at it and work out what it actually is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can also be doubled up so that the winch line runs through the central hole as well. Â 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
