Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Hello

I bought some recovery points that need to be fitted onto the front of my Patrol. They have 3 holes drilled into the flat part that should be on the chassis.

It would seem to be a lot simpler to disconnect the batteries and weld the points to the chassis. The alternative is to drill 3 holes in the chassis, creating possible points for rust, and then to somehow get a bolt through and tighten it.

If it is done well I have never been disappointed in the strength of a piece of steel that is welded together, on the other hand the force on that welding during a Kinetic rope recovery or a winch operation must be considerable.

Your inputs will be appreciated.

Bolt it with high tenstile bolts.

Laat weet asb vir ons waar jy ordentlike recovery punte gekry het en wat se fabrikaat!

Ek soek een vir links voor en een vir regs agter en die tipes wat ek tot dusver raakgeloop het se 2 gate sit te naby aan mekaar ens.

En net vir die rekord - ek stem saam met Herrie - bout hulle vas met HT boute en as jy wil kan jy hulle nog vassweis ook ... indien jy ekstra gate in die chassis moet boor, wees versigtig waar jy sulke gate boor!!!

Dankie
Herbie

Bout hulle vas!

Hein Burnett by Burnco sal die regte onderdeel en raad kan verskaf. Bel hom en spaar BAAAAie geld.

Hello Herbie

Ek het die herwinnings punte by 4x4 Megaworld in Edenvale gekoop teen R171 vir 2.

Ek het presies dieselfde. Sal graag wil sien wat die beste manier is om hulle vas te sit.

Just don't confuse it with this:

What is that John?

Op my Patrol is daar 2 gate met boute agter wat presies ooreenstem met die van die herwinningspunte. Ek het hulle met 2 dik "HT" boute vasgedraai en sal erens goed gaan swys ook. Ek moes die voorste gat oopsny om te maak inpas langs die Bullbar

Standard "recovery" points on our patrols.,.....ripped off the chassis during a recovery no doubt......not exactly up to spec. I still cant believe that purpose built 4wd vehicles are not equipped with meaty points as standard.

Why cant one bolt it ....AND weld it!
