Not criticising, more wondering why.

As they are just there and you still have to undo them to fix the towing stop, and if just left open to the elements then could well corode and be difficult to use.

Keep mine in the boot untill going off road then fix them with strop if I think it may get sticky.

Trev, Ive had mine fitted under there for a couple of years, the shackles dont easily corrode unless damaged.

I keep a shackle fitted to both ends of my ropes and strops to link in with the fitted ones, not good for compatitions but more than enough and safe enough for what I use the car for, green laning and the like.
