Now thats cool!!!

Thanks a bunch!

 

Not sure if this is an option for you, but for much less in money you can make your own with some flat stock aluminum, angled aluminum and Stainless Steal bolts that can be had at any hardware store.

P.s. Just waiting for The Minitor to chime in and say something lol.

 

u used your tow link for that .. thats cleaver!

 

Might as well make some use of it right?!?! I am still waiting for The Minitor to chime in and talk smack lol. But if you are handy enough, I would say go for making your own. Use a 5/8 lock washer to make sure the tow hook is straight and nice and tight.

But can you do this with the home made bracket.......

 

Actually yes, with Garret's design you could easily drill the holes where you wanted them or drill multiple holes and mount it in different positions as well.

They are all simple designs really. I didnt allow for the adjustments on my design because I wanted to use my frame and I fitted mine to exactly where I wanted it before hand.

Sorry Dave. Nice to see you capitalizing on the ideas of others. I'm just giving you crap. I thought about producing them myself when I made mine but its not really what I want to be doing right now. I'm glad someone else did so others dont have to spend time making there own if they don't want to.

 

sorry - noob question here....these tow hooks, I thought these came with the car? If they do, where is it? ..I suppose this is something my sales dude should have clued me into (but didn't). I've looked in my "tools" bag - but that just has the jack and lug wrench. Can't find a tow hook anywhere

 

Nice work, but those really mess with the aerodynamics of the car.

 

saakey:
If you have an MCS, look in the battery well. There is a rectangular charcoal colored foam block in there that contains several tools - the tow hook, a hook to remove the plastic central cover on the wheels, a wrench, the adapter to remove the wheel lock, etc.

 

 

It is located in the back boot under the carpet in front of the battery. Just like rhawth99 said.

Anyone tried one w/ an european plate yet? Any pics?

 

tanks a lot

 

These are for legal street driving where aerodynamics arent the concern and "The Man" is. They come off very quickly for the track.

 

Doomsday,

Do you mean using the bracket to hold a euro plate or using for a US plate while the euro plate is on the car?

On some MCSs at least (mine included) the tool kit w/ tow hook is in the little cubby on the left side of the boot. Pop the door off and it's in a little pouch attached inside there.

 

Interesting, I have an '05 and an '06 and on both it is in with the battery. I've stuffed a compressor in the left-hand side cubby. Is the tool kit still a rectangular form fitted thingie (the insides molded to each tool)?
