/wwwthreads_images/icons/smile.gif No.....the 1/4" bolts will just hold long enough for things to get real critical, then they'll let go.....unless there is a slew of bolts......like six for example, and IF they are set up so that the force is carried by several bolts concurrently, no matter what the D-ring does. MY FAVORITE setup......and this is after YEARS of running trucks and rigs of all kinds/wwwthreads_images/icons/crazy.gif......is a D-Ring type of bracket, with a "D" shackle in it. That way if the hook on the chain is too fat to drop through and too tight.....like a chain grab hook....to hook to the D-ring itself, you can open the shackle and get the chain in there anyway. THE WHOLE IDEA of "D" rings is to have a pass-through for a chain which has a grab hook on it, or on the sides of trucks it is for passing the chain through so you have HALF-LINK adjustment on the load binders......you machinery haulin' cats out there will know what I'm talkin' about....AND to keep yahoos from using Uncle Jesse's best log chain by hooking the grab hooks over a 5/8" pin and splaying the hooks out. That makes Uncle Jesse real upset./wwwthreads_images/icons/mad.gif (and me too!/wwwthreads_images/icons/frown.gif) OOOOO....BAD Jeeper! Bad Jeeper!/wwwthreads_images/icons/crazy.gif
