In case you were wondering. A 12mm soft shackle is Massive!!
That used 100inches of 12mm rope. Made one with 60inches and could not complete it was too small.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Thanks for that. I am looking to upgrade my old ARB diff lock compressor - had it since 1997, so its served its time, still pumps OK. If I cant sort out the endless air unit when I tear the front of the engine down I think I will go a big one - will have to look at the ARB twin also.

I bought a couple of 11mm units a while ago, not small either. I will say however that I am still sitting on the fence regards using them instead of a metal shackle for winch pulls - impact or energy situations like snatch stuff, yes, won't hesitate, but need some more assurance I think - the 'knot' bit is what has me cautious.

So i watched a heap of youtube threads on these before i began. This design is a stronger design than normal. It is rated at 220% strength of the 12mm rope. Well strong enough.

Your nut looks larger than mine, but thats hardly surprising is it!!!!! I don't doubt the mechanical strength, its just my engineering mind getting stuck with shackles as we use them every day and no soft shackles are rated for lifts - again, just a mind block. Right bit of gear for the job in some circumstances I guess.

Yeah this design is an improved design with the ends buried into the Nut making it significantly bigger but it it impossible to now invert the Nut which is a weakness. No tails
