Can anyone confirm how this is secured?

A pic would be great of the eye off the car if anyone has one?

Thanks!

Or from a genuine cup car

thank you Freedman.

Im having one made up, how much do you think is a fair price to sell them if I get a batch.

 

I've no idea how much they will cost to make up, but the ones on PCGB were £20.00 which seemed reasonable to me

 

can anyone tell me the measurements from the two threaded ends?

 

Diameter is 12 mm. The threads are maybe 15-20 mm. The sheet metal in the front is thin so just have enough thread for the nut, and a bracket on the inside. I have a aluminium bracket that is 50 mm wide, 5 mm thick and 300 mm long. It fits nicely where the jack is/was positioned.

thank you Thomas!

 

Keep us informed of when you have some to sell. If you need 'TOW' stickers to go with it, there are plenty of choices on ebay:

Hi Thomas

can you confirm the measurement from one threaded end to the other please?

Thanks

Lee

 

nearly there!

 

My camera is broken so no pics, but I just had a look at it. I did mine slightly larger. The stock eye is to small, especially if you have a registration plate and if you put a tow hook in a stock eye you'll probably crack your bumper.

So my measurements are:
12 mm thick steel, the cup eye is 10 mm I think, both works
70 mm inner diameter of the loop
130 mm longfrom the bulk head to the "top" of the loop (plus the threaded part)
20 mm are the threaded parts

The pic above is a real cup eye including the alu bracket. But that bracket is to small if you don't have the double sheet metal as on the cup. So use a bigger bracket as from my measurements in the previous post and you'll be fine.

Thank you Thomas.

so the cup eye secures to the alu crash structure?

when you have done them, count on me for this, most probably i will take 2 sets.

Are you doing only for the front part or both front and back?

 

No no, you mount it front through the upper slot in the grill. If you look from inside the trunk it's more or less exactly where the jack is supposed to sit. You have to cut away some small pieces of the plastic grill in order the wedge the eye with the welded washers in place. Then just drill two holes through the sheet metal into the trunk.

the bracket should look like the Cup one above but just bigger in order to give more support.
