Placed the order 7th Jan 2009 - expecting to be ready 7-10 days from then.
I'm not making any money on this, neither is the site, so please make a donation to Disco3.co.uk if you part-take in this group buy.LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

Hi MrH - I've got the same ropes (4mtr and 8mtr) but with shackles from these people.
Not had to use them as yet but they certainly look more than up to the job.
Well done for organising this I see no ships........

Don't know what BCB has, but these are the ones that AndrewS has - that's where I found out about them LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

I think BCB has video of us using the ropes, sometimes 3 of them where we couldn't get close enough, to help me pull out Rescue01 a few times
Yes 5m is a good general purpose length. The 8m/10m option are particularly handy when off road if someone get stuck and you can't quite get close enough without getting yourself into trouble.
The hooks are just a lot easier than shakles, and clip into the recovery loop found at the front of the D3, so presumable will also work on other vehicles, for those that it don't fit I keep a shackle or two in the car anyway.
I currently have a very old 4m heavy duty tow rope without hooks - putting money where mouth is, as part of this GB I'll replace that with a 5m with hooks as a general purpose rope and will also get an 8m with hooks.LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

ISTR (as I have one) that these are not strictly Kinetic, but do have about 10% stretch in them. Bodsys Brake Bible
