I am interested in getting one of these, but what type of tow bar do you use for the rest of it? I had a Blue Ox tow bar we used for towing our truck behind a RV- would it be some thing like that?

You show a picture of the bar but a picture of it actually mounted on a 914 might really help! Interested.

I'm shocked it's still available. I assumed Featured Items sold fast!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) They typically do. This is into my 2nd run of these.
I never expected this to be a huge sell'er. The rub is as the cars become more valuable
more folks are trailering thier 914's (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif)

How well does it tow using this method? Do you leave the car in neutral and leave the steering wheel unlocked so it finds its center?

You got it. I logged a LOT of miles with various 914's flat towing.
Pulling with everything from a Ranger to an RV. Current tow rig is a 05 F150 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
No Problems.

Those are the included mounting hardware.
Due to the added dimension of the bracket the bolts need to be longer + the front mount.
There are mounts welded to the bracket so the bolts & spacer don't get lost when not in use.

Will it clear a standard front valance? If you can send/post a pic of one on a car with the standard valance you will have yourself a quick sale!

If you are asking if you can tow with the OE valance in place, Sorry you can not.
Because the orig. standard valance curves back under the car it actually covers the the suspension pickup points where he bracket mounts.

I had been playing with a way to more easily remove & reinstall any valance.
You have to unscrew 6 fasteners (4 in the Frunk 2 in the wheel wheels) the screws in the front trunk are easy and Dzus fasteners work perfectly there , but the two 8mm bolts that retain the far ends of the valance are tougher as there is very little room there for a quick release mechanism. I currently have a pair of cleco's in those spots which work but dont have the positive locking or small /low profile Im after.

Darn it...that thing is awesome. Time to start looking for an aftermarket front valance!
