Default Cup car front tow hook

I'm looking for a front tow hook solution on my C2 - I love the look of the old school red loop on the cup cars, but cant find anyone making them. Anybody have a lead on these? Fabspeed discontinued their product.

Thanks. They have tow hooks, but not like the factory cup car style. That's what I'm looking for.

Fabspeed made one up until recently (no longer shown on their site). A couple of vendors like Vivid still have them listed. PM Fabspeed to see if they still offer it.

Rear and front are different.

Auto atlanta and vivid racing dont have these in stock as Fabspeed no longer makes.


Still at square one.

It's pretty much just a threaded u bolt that attaches to the front tub with a bracket. Your local hardware store will have them in a big range of sizes.

A quick Google search for "threaded u bolt" brings up lots of hits.

This is a post about Cup Tow Hook and ThomasC2 has provided measurements

I made my own. It was easy to do. There is some info on how I did it in my build thread. I used a much larger piece of angle aluminum inside the tub as I was concerned the small part shown might pull through if needed to get the car out of a bad spot.

Hardened steel rod 3/8" dia used an old timing came gear to bend it around and threaded the ends. painted it red at first but black later with tow sticker pointing towards it. I can stand on it and have used it to pull the car around without issue so far.
