Factor 55 FlatLink Winch Shackle Mount

The Factor 55 FlatLink Winch Shackle Mount (also called a winch line shackle bracket or folding winch thimble) replaces a conventional winch hook with a stronger, more secure shackle attachment point. FlatLink is Factor 55's original folding winch shackle mount. It gives you a safer connection for recovery winching with steel cable or synthetic rope.

Key Features:

• Folding design: It folds flat for a low profile and a better approach angle, and it stows neatly against the fairlead.
• Replaces the winch hook: A shackle or D-ring connection helps keep recovery strap loops from escaping during slack. It also avoids the cutting and fraying a hook can cause.
• Precision shackle mounting hole: The pear-shaped opening accepts common screw pin shackles at either the pin or bow end. It also works with soft shackles and many OEM recovery points.
• No splicing required: It works with steel cable and synthetic winch rope.
• Titanium double-shear pin: An aerospace-grade titanium pin with a snap ring retains the rope or cable eye. It installs in minutes and is simple to remove.
• Fairlead protection: Integrated EPDM rubber guards cushion line stowage and help protect alloy fairleads. They also reduce hook rattle.
• Precision-machined construction: Machined from 6000-series billet aluminum, with a powder coat or anodized finish.
• Made in the USA: Engineered and tested by Factor 55.
