Week 8, after the possible CORONA infection of last week, Edi is up and running again! It took about a week to recover. We will make a CORONA ANTIBODY check within the next weeks. Meanwhile, it is again time for an update on the camper.
 |
| Massive recovery point to be installed @ the front end of the camper. |
As the SPRINTER 4×4 does not have recovery points at the front or the back, we were looking for a proper solution. The crucial question is where to place the recovery point because of the massive forces needed to be taken in case of recovery.
 |
| Tools needed today … |
 |
| Starting to remove the grill …. |
 |
| Removing the bumper at the front end to access the winch. |
 |
| Disconnecting the winch electrics, which will make some troubles at the reassembling … |
 |
| Massive winch steel support, where the recovery points should find a place. |
 |
| This is the place (on both sides) where recovery points should be screwed down. |
 |
| 20 millimetre drill bit |
 |
| Let’s start drilling, starting with 8 millimeters. |
x
 |
| Finished 20 millimetre hole. |
 |
| Perfect fit! |
 |
| Finished mounting using the 32 nut. |
 |
| The advantage of the recovery point we use is, that it is free to rotate. |
 |
| Finished, left and right! |
 |
| At least, the connector of the winch electrics needs to be replaced …. |
 |
| The result, after reassembling, just like I designed it. |
