Recovery points by Volkstrek4x4

[Markee]

I’ve sent and email off to Volkstrek4x4 in the UK are their ad for recovery points for the T5/6 (see attached photo)

Looking for interested parties to try and organise a group buy possibly?

Yes they’re damn expensive but cheap insurance when it comes to getting your beloved van outta the poop.

They do look very much like the Relleum Design ones posted elsewhere on here.

Post your interest below.

Cheers

I’ll get a price at least.

[Lucas_R]

That pricing is simply ludicrous.

If you could negotiate a substantial aussie discount? How do these compare to the relleum design in terms of price and installation?

[Markee]

I am trying for a discount on 4 sets. I believe these are actually the Relleum ones. I will confirm with them in my next email.

[Markee]

I should have a price by next week as they are away in Germany for an off-road show and can’t create an accurate shipping quote without weighing the total package. Stay tuned.

Any luck?

Still waiting on a reply. Will send another email now.

Can I ask why these are so special , if my memory is right T5,s came with one standard tow bolt so why not just order some from VW or pick some up from a wreck . If the VW one was made for towing a broken down van from factory {heaven forbid they break down } then why the need for another type ?

[ozgti]

They're designed for towing. Not snatching. The force applied from the kinetic energy is huge. They can snap tow points on proper 4wds.

Ok makes sense I had to ask .What about these there are some Aussie manufacturers who manufacture HightTensile bolts etc . Bare Co - High Tensile Towing Eye

[Markee]

Again they’re towing eyes Sunny. The Relium ones are rated to 8t and can be used in conjunction with a bridle and snatch strap to be ‘snatched’ out of trouble, should the need arise.
You could probably be winched out using the standard towing eye but I much rather the Relium ones TBH.

That pricing is simply ludicrous.

Yeah, that’s my thoughts as well. Surely there is a cheaper solution. I’d be looking at local fabricators.

[ozgti]

Reading what they are, one company seems to just find another tow eye and receptacle and bolt it to the other chassis rail... Seems a bit steep for that.
