WANTED: Towing eye

Postby optical illusion » Fri Jan 21, 2011 12:32 am

I need to get a towing eye for track days as I don't want to be pulled out by my rear strut brace if heaven forbid it needs be.

Anyone have any for sale or any tips? Big hassle getting them fitted I wonder...?

They are generally easy to fit if you can get access to a decent piece of chassis. All you have to do is drill a 10mm or 12mm hole in it and the towing eye bolts on. You'll one front and rear so finding two easy access places might be tough on the FTO. Specially if you don't want body work fowled if you do have an "off".
Currently in my collection:
'98 Toyota Starlet...
'79 Mini Clubman 1380cc ~100BHP (I hope)
'79 BMW 728

Finding bodywork will be tough with the exhaust

Maybe you could fit one behind the number plate, that way it wouldn't be visible when you're not on track days.
