FLAT SPLICER 3/8-1/2" SYNTHETIC ROPE SPLICE-ON SHACKLE MOUNT -- BLUE

The Flat Splicer is the world?s first splice on folding winch rope shackle mount thimble. It can be folded flat against winch fairleads minimizing vehicle frontal protrusion. At a mere 1.75 inches thick, and equipped with integrated EPDM rubber pads, the Flat Splicer can accommodate the pin and bow sections of common 3/4" shackles as well as the pin ends of larger 7/8? shackles. Note how the spliced rope can exit the middle of the part and be routed 90 degrees along the inner radius, and back towards the winch. This innovative design allows the Flat Splicer to be stowed with the groove side facing towards the winch, thus eliminating all exposed winch rope from damaging UV light and impact/abrasion. Completely protects the end of your winch rope without compromising your vehicle approach angle. NOTE: Unlike the Factor 55 ProLink and Flatlink shackle mount products, The Flat Splicer requires synthetic rope splicing knowledge. We recommend either the locking Brummel Splice or Long Bury Splice. Due to the splice-on design, the Working Load Limit (WLL) is based on the rope diameter used. Each Splice-On Shackle Mount exceeds minimum bend radius requirements to provide full breaking strengths of synthetic winch lines used. Made in USA Patent Pending
