I have a Dixon Bate tow bar on the back of my Defender 110 Hardtop thus I'm not able to stick a recovery eye in the middle of the cross member. I figure there are two options:
a, stick an eye on the drop plate instead of the ball
b, put two eyes either side of the tow bar mounting.
Is option 'a' an option?
If I went for option 'b', do I drill new holes in the cross member because although it is littered with holes, none of them seem to be in the right place.
Any info/photos gratefully received.
Thanks,
 
Can I just stick the recovery ring on the drop plate? Wasn't sure if it would be strong enough for a snatch recovery?

Or you could attach the rope BEFORE you start laning. :doh:
 
Suggest you get some thing other than a landy then lol, Get a pair of Jate's then before you get into the brown stuff attach a 2mtr strop to each then you can attach a recovery line when needed ( Remember to secure it to your rear thou lol)

If you really dont want to use JATE's and have an adjustable tow hitch then get another plate and put a ring on it how ever I recon Jates are the way.
