I don't know if permanently mounting front and rer toe hooks is a mod but this seems like the best place to ask

Is it correct to permanently mount the toe hook (thread lock it in there)?

Now that one solved, What color to paint/powder coat it? Match the brake calipers?

 

yes people threadlock them in and yes people paint them

all personal preference

Mount it in the front grille. The rear is where you mount the wing-up-key

 

If you have pix, post them please.

 

I want one! Where you get it from? Price? Pictures? The details! lol Sorry to hi-jack(PM me with the details, Unless DrDiff doesn't mind)

Thanks but I meant the Wind-Up Key but found the information I wanted. Thanks anyways!

 

i wonder does anyone with towhook ever have problem with someone driving a tow bed to tow your car away? that is my one concern

 

I will have a tow hook front and back this winter. It will be a bad enough time if I need to get dragged out of a ditch, without having to put one in at - 40F

 

Anyone seen the swivel hook from Japan? That would look nice.

 

Here's mine. No paint on it. I need to put some teflon tape on it to adjust the position, but I'm in no hurry to do it

 

Here's mine.......



got out the old bit brace with a super sized bit and very carefully removed some aluminum so the shoulder of the tow hook would go further into the hole. Used leftover caliper paint and then lock-tite on the threads to discourage the casual thief.
Proper positioning is important for that authentic look, so keep it horizontal!

 

Does anyone know the thread size? Evidently not ur normal metrc

thanks in advance...mike

 

Remember me? :smile:

 

Awesome guys. I am thinking I may have to purchase a second one for the back. I love the look. I am leaning towards painting it the same color as brake calipers. Now to decide on color.

 

Most folks only do the front cuz putting it in the back kinda breaks up the flowing lines. But to each their own! It's your ride, so have at it.

Here's another view....
