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 Flat Splicer is the world’s first splice on folding winch rope shackle mount thimble.  Finished in a durable Mil-Spec hard anodized surface, the Flat Splicer can be folded flat against winch fairleads minimizing vehicle frontal protrusion.
