Goed genoeg vir 'n tydelikke oplossing, maar moet asseblief nie snatch op daai nie. Tensy hulle baie dikker is as wat hulle lyk.

Om 'n Patrol te snatch soek jy ten minste 'n 16mm dik plaat.

My understanding is that the Nissan recovery point is a hook.
So a single recovery is one thing, bit non-stop towing in 4x4 conditions would not work, unless one can prevent the strap from unhooking?

Secondly, why (or under what circumstances) would the hook be more suitable than the aftermarket points made by Piet?

Dankie Peter. Gepraat daarvan, maak jy nog recovery punte? Salaris is in, so ek soek nou vir decent recovery punte voor en agter. Ek sien die kerels se mooi goed van jou werk.

Alex, you are correct, the standard point is a hook. But, it has a plate on which prevents the rope from un-hooking. Rolf's car had a standard recovery hook, and you know how far we towed that.

To my mind, a well-designed hook is better as it does not require a shackle, thus fewer points of failure. But, this only applies if the hook is of such design and manufacture that it won't damage the rope.

But I don't have the equipment to make beautiful hooks like that, which is why I make plates with holes in them.

Paul, I do still make recovery points, but only for the front and I don't have a product suitable for the 4.8's. Sorry.

Ian, thank you, circumstances did not allow a detour on Monday. I could have used a cold one though.
