My ute has no decent recovery points on the th rear. So I have decided to fab up my own
This morning I took off my tow bar as I am using the centre mounting holes.
I used a piece of 100x10 flat bar for the base which was cut at 130mm long. For the eye I used a piece of 100x12 flat bar cut at 60mm long. In this I drilled a 30mm hole for the eye.
I heavilly shamphered the end of the eye piece before welding it to the base plate. To ensure full weld penetration I did a "3 row fillet weld" (first time I have tried a 3 row fillet).
Once the eye is attached to the base, I cut 4 gussetts and welded them to the base and eye
Tomorrow I'll clean up the spatter, give it a lick of paint and install. hopefully I wont need to test it anytime soon
