This week’s ‘’WTF’ is that for?...
A small length of stainless steel seamless tube just turned up in the post... it’s 22mm OD and 19mm ID and is to be used to stop a potential rattle (one for Lambert then?)
Any ideas?
Answer tomorrow’s day in the garage... after I’ve cut it to get two ~30mm lengths of it...
Hmmm...?

Is it to sleeve the shackle pins, to stop the rattling in the recovery points?

Laddies and Gentlemen... we have a winner!
Clue was in the background of the photo!
Yes, they are a loose rattle fit, and I always leave the shackles in recovery points and done up real tight with pliers to stop them getting nicked! So no problem having a sleeve in there, and being stainless they won’t rust...

Couple of hours off, so cut and fitted one...
Perfect!
Bit of waterproof grease inside the silencer sleeve and tighten the pin so no-one can steal the shackles!
So, if that helps anyone... it's seamless stainless steel tube readily available reasonably on eBay, and it's 22mm OD (outside diameter) and 19mm ID (internal diameter), such a snug fit that it needs tapping into the holes in the JimnyBits front recovery points...
