He guys,

I've just had my US spec bumperettes removed and the holes filled in. So I was wondering what towing eyes you prefer particularly for the rear, off the engine (not in the factory eye hole).

I like the look of this Tarrot one http://www.tarett.com/items/911-prod...310-detail.htm

While we are at it what do you sue for the front? Just the factory one or??

 

That wont work on a 993, pre 89 only

 

Thnx 911 Pervy, thats helpful and hence the reason for the post. Love Rennlist

 

front


rear

 

I use the stock front and rear two hooks in the same spots as Bill. Nothing wrong with pulling a car out of a gravel trap with the stock bumpers.

 

Other option is the RSR style rear tow hook which attaches to the engine case. Rothsport makes a version of it, and Autometrics used to.

RSR front tow hook attaches to the front trunk pan which isn't as strong a mounting point as stock (bumpers -> mounts -> frame rails), but that can be reinforced with broader backing plates. Fabspeed makes a replica.

 

I do the same as Bill (and try to avoid needing a tow in the first place...)



The rear hook opening is behind the plate which you don't want to be fiddling with if and when you ever need it.

So I carefully measured and drilled my license plate accordingly. I added a rubber grommet (if that's the word) to finish off the hole surround - looks great and properly finished. The stock hook is ready for insertion if ever needed.

Cheers

Thanks guys. I'm not planning any trips into the kitty litter However I also want to be responsible in the event of something unfortunate happening and having no towing eye at the rear wouldn't be good form. I didn't realize though that there is a towing hole behind the license plate? I though it was to the right of the plate? If that's the case then I'll be fine.

Cheers guys.
