The FlatLink E provides a means to eliminate the conventional winch hook and replace it with a safer and more secure screw pin shackle resulting in a CLOSED SYSTEM WINCHING operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe large pear shaped shackle mounting hole allows for attachment to either the pin or bow end of common screw pin shackles, as well as common OEM recovery points. This makes the new FlatLink E more versatile than the current FlatLink design, but it also adds the possibility of a dangerous shackle side loading condition (See Picture), especially during momentary slack conditions. A shackle side loading condition is not possible with our standard FlatLink shackle mount due to the shackle pin mounting constraint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the recreational off roader we highly recommend the safer standard FlatLink product, not the FlatLink E. This way the winch operator does not have to monitor whether the shackle may have shifted and rotated in the recovery tackle. The FlatLink E is only available in the Military Specification Anodising (Mil-A-8625 F Type III) hard anodised grey finish. Conventional winch hooks can cut and fray recovery straps and often allow strap ends to escape during momentary slack cycles of a typical winching recovery. Screw pin shackles do not allow strap loops to escape due to their secure screw pin attachment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FlatLink E does not require splicing and is compatible with steel cables or synthetic ropes up to 3\/8 inches in diameter. The cable eye is retained in the FlatLink E by a 5\/8 inch diameter 6Al4V Titanium double shear pin and internal snap ring. Installation takes only minutes. The EPDM Rubber Guards protect alloy fairleads and are securely attached to the FlatLink E with 4 barbed tips each.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FlatLink stows neatly against either roller or Hawse type fairleads and is designed to be used with common 3\/4 inch shackles. MADE IN THE USA, the FlatLink is constructed of 6000 series billet aluminium and is anodised\/powder coated in 5 different colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFactor 55 FatLink\"E\" Expert Shackle Product Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003ePrecision machined from 6000 series aluminium\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003e Compatible with all roller fairlead license plate mounting brackets\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003e When folded flat – less than 1.75 inches of thickness\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003e Weight – 23 ounces \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003eMax load rating : 16,000 pounds \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003eUltimate failure : greater than 40,000 pounds\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003e Fits steel cables and synthetic winch ropes to 3\/8 inch diameters\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003e EPDM Rubber Guard protects alloy fairleads and cushions line stowage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003e Simple snap ring removal for shear pin. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003eFits common 3\/4 shackles\/D-Rings \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003eEliminates hook rattle and fairlead damage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShipping Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour choice at check out Toll DX Express or to a PO BOX\/Parcel Locker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003eTracking Number will be provided.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Factor 55","offers":[{"title":"Red","offer_id":51487831359721,"sku":"00080-01","price":339.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue","offer_id":51487831392489,"sku":"00080-02","price":339.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yellow","offer_id":51487831425257,"sku":"00080-03","price":339.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Limited Edition Black","offer_id":51487831458025,"sku":"00080-04","price":339.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver","offer_id":51487831490793,"sku":"00080-05","price":339.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grey","offer_id":51487831523561,"sku":"00080-06","price":339.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Orange","offer_id":51487831556329,"sku":"00080-07","price":339.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green","offer_id":51487831589097,"sku":"00080-08","price":339.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"OD Green","offer_id":51487831621865,"sku":"00080-12","price":339.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/7047\/9849\/files\/FlatLink-E-orange_940b10ed-0a9b-422c-8f52-dcdb67cf2d43.jpg?v=1783294139","url":"https:\/\/silverbackbuilds.com.au\/products\/factor55-flatlink-e-expert-shackle-mount-assembly-grey","provider":"Silverback Builds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
