So due to my dislike of shackles I want to fit a pair of hooks to the top of my uneek bar for light snatch recoveries
(stock google pictures below)

It'll be bolted through the top, as close to the chassis mount as possible (very close to directly above the triangle punch out in the bar)

Before I go ahead and do it.... I figure I'll give the internet hero's here a chance to shoot me down, and hope for some sensible discussion hidden in the middle.

I wouldn't do it. There's lots of leverage being applied to the mounts when you're recovering from up there. It's also not s great place to apply recovery load to the car - you want to be lifting as you're pulling, so the lower the recovery point the better.

If the problem with shackles is safety based, buy or make some soft shackles.

Do the dyneema shackles stand up to being pulled against square laser cut edges?

Can always taper/round them out I guess.
