    The first one of these I designed And I know they are my design and if anyone can pre date them legally I'll go he.They were for a GU s1 comp truck cut into a a single cab.
    They originally did not have the 2 extra holes on early ones only the enlongated on to put a clip lock hook in as per Comp truck. the extra holes were to bolt a black 10,000lb hook just to make a hook up a bit easier. I know who made them as there are a few low life companies that can't design a product of their own And if they tell you they designed it they are liars and bring on the paperwork. If they give you your money back PM i"ll see what I can do but not going to sit here and see every one of my products that they and others have copied claim them as their own. like I said bring on the paper work anytime they want. They are my designs that these lowlifes make money off cause they are cashed up more than me. plus bit hard keeping up with orders when half the time I'm in hospital. They are just theives, they know it, 4WD TV highlights this most weeks ans not just my produdts the industry is full os cashed up clowns that know nothing. and thats all I'm saying End of story, you buy copies your fault not mine . Oh and I use Aussie steel cut but Aussies Goodbye

    O.k this is what I would do. Slice the bash plate to slot in the plate and then bolt it up. No biggie really mate. Plus I would even run a bead of weld from the bash plate to the recovery plate. and repainted it all. But that just me. As for bolts, grade 8, hi tensile with some good spring washers. Has the left side got the captive nuts inside the chassis rail mate? Or is there just holes?

    Personally I wouldn't be welding it who knows what steel its made of, only trying to stay safe.
    If its imported chinese steel you wont be able to weld it too porous. Gotta stay safe my 2C worths well 50 c by the time I finish

    Good point. Even just slicing the bash plate so the recovery plate slides in would be good enough...

    Zinc plated bolts graded 8 or better, never ever bolt anything to your 4x4 unless you use zinc bolts, just makes sense, apologise if I seemed a bit over the top but I've designed all these things and others claim they do , I know the truth , done and dusted , spleen been vented. PM if you require assistance,
    Mudski has the right idea, don't weld it. EVER

    Don't know much but could you put some washes between the chassis and the bracket to clear the weld? As for steel never weld your chassis or grind it back unless your an engineer that knows what he is doing and for bash plate just cut it to what you need there plentiful in 4x4 stores

    Left side is just holes, I am planning to open up the end of the chasis rail and use a bit of flat plate with the nuts welded to it, like one of the gents showed in their guide.

    Thanks for your help guys much appreshiated
