I have been asked to fit a front recovery point to my 2005 90. It has a standard front bumper and a steering guard which I think makes standard jate rings too narrow to fit on the chassis – though I had read that LR made a wider version – any one any ideas. I have seen some quality ones at ‘famous four’ for only £16 each (wanted to avoid the welded cheaper options) but they are too narrow for the chassis with the guard in place. Any other suggestions or ideas welcome (thoughts on swivel hitch reinforced through the bumper)

No its not a tube - its an exsiting skid plate but with no recovery points, thought i had seen a thread about wider than standard landrover (genuine) jate rings but cannot find it now?
