Re:Re:Recovery adapter.

Whatcha. I have been watching YouTube and the Americans with their 2 inch receiver hitces for which they have fittings that allow for a shackle. My tow bar is demountable with the coupling holder bolted to the actual bar. I'm thinking of having a lump of solid bar with a suitable hole for a big shackle that I can swap in if I'm intending to go play. It would have the benefits of being higher than the tow bar coupling and being solid and bolted in is unlikely to be the weakest link. Does this sound logical?

I now have a front receiver and thinking up one for the rear

That's the thing but mine would have to be smaller to fit in between the welded flanges on my towbar.

I have a Suzuki tow bracket which is fitted with a removable swan neck. I have junked the swan neck and it's fixing plate and fitted this. It combines a 50mm ball plus the holes are to take the bolts for my bike rack.Roger

Suddenly realised that I had not actually answered the question. A tow bracket is not designed to take shock loads as generated in exuberant snatch recoveries, so the policy is that a bridle rope is attached in some way directly to the chassis rails so that the energy in the recovery is dissipated throughout the chassis.
