Eyeless snatch strap..Who makes it....

[the evil twin]

Soft Shackle for sure mate

Agree... esp being nice and round like it is

First observation is in also agreeing that no way in the world would I snatch off the tie downs.
The loads are totally at the wrong angles and I would be very careful winching of them but would use with extreme care if needs be.

Sooo as far as the recovery point goes...
Ideally the pin of the bow should go thru the point and the strap to the bow (and Yes, I know some recovery points are manufactured to take the shackle, just talking ideal here).

If you put the shackle thru the point the odds of a Bow not staying in the correct orientation are pretty high and you gotta remember the rating of a Bow Shackle proportionally reduces if the pull isn't in line and the rating is 50% at 90 degrees.
Worst case that would drop the bow shackle rating to 1600 Kg, multiply by the design factor and you get 6 to 9 tonnes Breaking Strain roughly.

I agree with ET on those steel loops. No way in the world i would snatch from those.

I just bought 3 from the UK site that ET put up, half the price of the bubba rope ones.

There's also this mob, could find anything larger that 3000kg SWL but eho knows, maybe they'll ones with higher ratings if required.

Thanks Stropp, i didnt realise ET had a link up. Looks the goods. I have 60m of 12mm rope in the shed going on my Himount. Too much. I will make a couple of these i reckon, That link says 12mm ones are rated to 14T so looking good. Will use about 1.2m or so of rope to make one i reckon but will research on YouTube.

I've made a couple of my own as well and the strength of the shackle is directly related to the stopper knot used.
A diamond knot is easiest to tie and uses less rope but a button knot is heaps stronger and allows you to feed the tails back into the shackle.

Because you are effectively using 4 lines the BS of the shackle is 4 times the BS of the rope less the factor of the knot.
For a button knot I work on 2X the BS of the line.

A 12mm one will probably need a bit over 1.5 metres as I use that length for my 10mm ones but I am a hamfisted and need long tails to tie the stopper

12mm

Well I ended up in getting a couple of bubba rope ones from snake racing, I didn't have time to wait for some to come from OS, and I certainly don't have the ability to make them myself. Hopefully I won't need them but at least I have them.

Thanks guys for all your valuable input, it is greatly appreciated.

Cheers

I wouldnt count on that loop too much.
Ive had a look under the Y62 and there is not much to attach to.[ARB bar]
there is a row of 4 x 10mm captive nuts , but useless on such a heavy 4x4
