Hybrid_From_Hell Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Eh ? Best to post some picvs up Did you do the rear cross member yourself ?. if so I am seriously puzzled as to why you didn't build recovery points into it pre weldeing it on. If not then its not just the mm thickness of the recovery points but whatthey are attached to, as if the rear cross member isn't up to it then however big the recovery points are is er...irrelevent ? Why did you go tube rear ? Whats the spec size wall thickness of it, and some oics may help us understand what your asking ? Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I am no expert, but I would have thought that unless your crossmember is also stainless steel, then I would stick to Mild Steel for the recovery points. I would also go for 18 or 20mm diameter bar... cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have been wrong and that the steel was just polished from regular use, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 20mm as long it is attached to something as strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 20mm as long it is attached to something as strong. that counts out a LR chassis then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
