Hi All,
Need some advice.
I recently watched a pathfinder snatch a brumby out of some sand. Method used was the hook of the strap was placed on the towbar of the pathfinder and a small galv shackle was put into some small holes on the chassis of the brumby. All I coud envisage was the broken shackle either in the back of someones head or in the rear window of the nissan.
This brings me to my question. I have searched the threads and some are saying not to use shackles with snatch straps and some are saying its ok.
So...What is the best way and where should I place a strap on a vehicle and where should I put it on my Series 80. I know there would be exceptional circumstances but generally.
Cheers
Howard.
