Description: Factor 55 FlatLink E (Expert) Shackle Mount Assembly in RedPRODUCT DESCRIPTIONThe FlatLink E (Expert) is a variation of the foldable standard FlatLink winch shackle mount. 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. The 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, especially during momentary slack conditions. A shackle side loading condition is not possible with the standard FlatLink shackle mount due to the shackle pin mounting constraint. The FlatLink E is only available in the Military Specification Anodizing (Mil-A-8625 F Type III) hard anodized gray 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. The 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. The FlatLink E stows neatly against either roller or Hawse type fairleads and is designed to be used with common 3/4 inch shackles.MADE IN THE USAPrecision machined from 6000 series billet aluminumCompatible with all roller fairlead license plate mounting bracketsWhen folded flat – less than 1.75 inches of thicknessWeight – 26 ouncesMax load rating : 16,000 poundsUltimate failure : greater than 40,000 poundsFits steel cables and synthetic winch ropes to 3/8 inch diametersEPDM Rubber Guard protects alloy fairleads and cushions line stowageSimple snap ring removal for shear pinFits common 3/4 shackles/D-RingsEliminates hook rattle and fairlead damage
