Photos underneath of how/where attached would be good (we're nosey like that).

Basically what I have done is take 2 x 50mm wide 12mm thick flat steel bars and drilled the d a 20mm hole for the shackle and 4 x 8mm holes for the high tensile bolts. I have then taken 2 x 40mm wide x 5mm flat steel bars drilled 4 bolt holes matching the 12mm bars then welded m8 nuts over the holes. I then placed the 12mm bars on the bottom of the rear chassis leg and marked the bumper and cut a couple of holes to allow the 12mm bar to fit through. I then positioned the bar where I wanted it, clamped it in place and drilled 4 x holes in the bottom of the chassis leg. Now I took the 5mm bar with the welded nuts and slid it inside the chassis leg, and screwed the bolts in. I assume this will be strong enough but it hasn't been tested yet, oh and I had to cut off the original recovery/tie down points. I hope this is useful to anyone thinking of fitting rear recovery points.
