Whilst working at the b bolt and transfer pipe, the hoist plate has moved. This didn't happen the first time, but it has fallen over so to speak, and I can't get it righted. I can remove it altogether but can't get it reseated properly. I have the b bolt engaged again, but the plate isn't straight, or flush as it should be.
I'm concerned that if it isn't properly engaged the b bolt won't tighten the transfer pipe accurately, but I don't want to remove it as the bolt will then be too long?
Anyone had to reseat the plate before, and can you give me any tips?
The chances of me needing the hoist are very slim, and I would consider removing the bottom hook if necessary, but I thought I'd check with the experts first

if i remember correct, theres a locating lug at the bottom of the lifting eye that locates in a hole.

Yes,bottom of the lifting eye has a bent lug that locates into a slot which keeps the barcket vertical.

Not sure the B bolt would tighten up if bracket wasnt in correct position.

There's a good chance that the lig off the transfer pipe will snap off without the lifting eye in place

Thanks guys. A bit more investigation and 'hoking and poking' required
