Thanks, recovery points sent Monday arrived first thing Tuesday, excellent quality and very happy, will put some pics up in my vehicle thread soon.
PM sent hope it works
For those waiting I should have them back from the sheet metal guy next week
John, I've got a 2005 TD42tI which has the lower radiator guard and an ARB Bullbar which mounts as per the pics above.Quote:

Do you have any other options?
I do have a spare standard front Nissan hook from another vehicle I will mount on the passenger side in the mean time, at least I can spread the load across 2 points, but would like something more substantial in there long term.
Is that one of my flat plates on the inside of the chassis,
You have now become the third person with this combo Ive come across.
Im going to the laser cutters next week I do have one but it needs some finessing
I might get him to cut some out of MDF and post them to you for a trial fit and see how we go from there.
What I would probably do is if it was mine is install the tee shaped ones , buy cutting that flange off
and welding the TEE plate to it. plenty of ways none easy
from memory that lip is 30mm yes???
That's not actually my car, so I don't know what that red plate is in the background, but it's exactly how my Bullbar mounts up. Yes the front leading edge is around 30mm wide.
I'd prefer to avoid welding stuff if I can.
Happy for you to send out some MDF ones for a trial fit.
do you have 3 vacant captive nuts on the inside of the drivers side chassis.
Passenger side will only have the holes
Yes that's correct. Drivers side there is 3 captive nuts in a triangle configuration, 2 at the bottom, 1 at the top. The passenger side, these are just empty holes.
You would need to remove the fan shroud to get a bolt into the rear most bolt hole and it looks like a radiator out job to access the other 2 bolts.
I have the same setup John. ARB Delux bar and long radiator. Would likely now be a very common setup.
LHS is remove the bullbar ,I think Mudski did a DYI thread about opening up the end of the chassis.
My GQ plate fits the RHS of most models and years, but only as asingle
Yep. Click on my profile and I have the links in there....Quote:

hi all other than recovery points I've been working on a spare wheel lifter its been finished for a while now.
I does lift a 285 patrol alloy and tyre from the ground up and onto your roof safely.
It is best if you have a full or 3/4 roof rack, each base will be made to suit which even rack you have.
Try lifting a spare up onto the roof out in the Simmo or up the Cape, None of us arent getting any younger.
Let me know if anyone is interested it has a max lift of 50kg, Any more its up to you lol
Total weight of my unit is around 10KG
Well done, TD. I hope you get many sales.
Thanks mate forgot to mention its 12 volts operational, got a rough idea on pricing but Im taking it
to TJM for a better appraisal well below $1000 I hope then freight on top of that
got the recovery points for the Gu the today 3D..thanks..specially since I'm going to be following clunk and stropp next weekend
Pm sent three dogs re: recovery points
hey three dogs sent you a pm about some recovery points.
Thanks for your interest all PMs now replied to
It's nice to see threedogs' recovery points in current issue of 4WD Action's recovery tips and tricks booklet.

I still have and use that hook on the back of my Patrol, its earned its keep.
As some know trying to get my roof rack fitted this Saturday, after its on Ill fit my wheel hoist
and do a video I can put here to show you how easy it is to get a wheel from the roof rack to the
ground using only your thumb.
I'm looking for bolt on without to much hassle recovery points for this old style arb winch bar

hi BB PM sent
The easiest solution is to replace the OE hook with my
12mm thick flat plate again very strong.
You can also if you want bolt a 10,00lb black hook to
it as well.
To fit two you'll need to drop the bullbar and make a plate with three 14mmx 1,5 nuts welded to it.
IMHO not the best snatching from only one side, a bridle from two points would even out the weight better.
any updates on the video mate? :)Quote:

Need some heavier "U" bolts and thats about it.
I'll go to the bolt place tomorrow and see what they have.
thanks.
Might see if Simon from 4WD tv can do a video on it for me.
Hi folks,
3d is staying on for yet another year as vendor!
Thank you for your ongoing support John :)
well done TD! oooo i actually got some money back from tax that the missus dont know about. ill hit you up for some points, been meaning to for ages
Hi Rusty I'm pretty sure the "T" shaped one will suit you set up,
double check tonight, the folded style fit under the chassis rails
sms sent lol,
Computer on last legs and why bloody not
Hey John,
Can you PM me some info as to what I need for my GQ, Millweld bullbar if that makes a difference with pricing.
I've been thinking about it for a little while, front recovery points, one each side.
Not sure how the Milweld mount, can you see
the three holes either side of the inside chassis.
Do you have a close up pic in your build thread I can look at?
I'll take a pic for you when I get home
To run two which I highly recommend you'd need to drop
the bar and make a plate to fit inside the left hand chassis.
Nuts required to weld to plate are 14mm x 1.5 pitch,
Hard to find zinc plated bolts but spray can is ok.
Big thanks to Rusty-Nail for re-doing my first page, looks neater and explains things
a bit better, Hopefully the mods can delete the original first post and replace it with Rusty-Nails link
again thanks heap Rusty
What is the thickness
of the steel of
your GQ recovery points,
TD?
12mm with 3 x 14mm bolts holding it in place,
modelled off a series 1 single cab GU comp truck.
Working on a 16mm two piece one that should fit both the GQ and some GUs
Had some cut out of MDF to play with, that will be bullet proof lol
wooo just fitted my new recovery points. they look schmick! very fast postage, and excellent customer service! thanks john! also, do i need to replace the bolts? the ones i had i had to take out a washer, they were long enough to fit the flat and spring washer.

Just a quick heads up thanks to Gregs a member here Ive been able to get my hands on a brand new Y62.
I have a proto type front recovery point which will be getting cut next week. Turned out to be easier than I thought.
Note this Y62 had no bullbar but I think it should work with a bullbar regardless of which make.
now to watch the copy cats lol
@ Rusty Those bolts look rusty I'd be changing them for grade 8 zinc plated.
Its a lot of red eh lol
I used 50mm M12 high tensile (8.8) bolts 1.25 thread, got them from Repco, but Bunnings or any other hardware shop should have them. The original M12 (8.8) bolts are only 35mm long, not long enough.Quote:

Going to look at another Y62 tomorrow, so I'll grab some pics of the supercharged engine bay.
This thing goes like a cut cat [fast] lol
