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.

What is the thickness
of the steel of
your GQ recovery points,
TD?
My advice is: not to follow my advice.
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

WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
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.

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.Originally Posted by rusty_nail
