The FlatLink E (Expert) is a variation of our popular 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.
