Scorpion Racing rear recovery point

Hi all,

I am looking at taking off my towpack (only gets used for nudge parking and a few other "things") and replacing it with a Scorpion Racing rear recovery point that bolts on to the rear cross member. It is just a 4-bolt attachment with a welded hoop on it.
I really like the simple design and it will give me a much better departure angle, but I wanted to see if anyone here has one and if so, what they think of it. Any pics would also be appreciated.

Cheers

try Southdown guard if you need the recovery eye and a towing option plus get the fuel tank protection. Cheers

I will never deal with Scorpion.

Anyway look at this, it also comes with a tow ball fitting.

Towbar

That is exactly the towbar I am looking for.

I had a look at the linked website but couldn't see it listed.

I also did a search for Ironman but couldn't find that either.

Does anyone knows where I can get one?
