i'm wondering how this tow hook would work on a n/a. would you have to fabricate solid bumper "shocks?" or would the shocks be strong enough hold the weight of the car while pulling? i've been looking into getting a tow hook for the inevitable tow truck ride home.

nick, go to home depot and get a truck tow ring. it's $15. get some matching 1/2" stove bolts (i think they're called. with a square base), nuts and washers. then use a steel backing plate, drill 2 holes matching the bolt holes on the toe. if u can't get plate, i got some extras

drill thru bumper with a unibit and bolt on.

Hello, First off neither one of those tow hooks are for towing a car very far, just off the track. No Tow Truck Driver worth his salt would use either one of them to tow a car on public roads. The aluminum bumper is not structured to tow from for any distance.

Cheers,
Larry

 

yea it is meant for just out of the gravel pit towing. not for highway towing.

are u looking for a flat tow solution nick?

 

im looking for something to safely tow in an emergency

 

call AAA and get a flatbed

 

In a pinch, you can always use the snap ring that holds in your thermostat to tow your car. It has been often said that you can tow a car with that ring, and after having wrestled with one, I can believe it.

 

hahahah mark. yea that one's a bitch.
