Anybody happen to know of an inexpensive source for this type of race car tow hook? The specific application is probably front+rear of a 914 track car that already has fiberglass bumpers which could be slotted if required. The one in the pic is $30/ea plus shipping and fab work so I was wondering if there are other options. I don't really have the tools to fab them from scratch.

What i've used in the past is a "U" bend found in most auto parts stores.
the application is for attaching leaf springs to the rear axle banjo on solid rear axle cars. Some of the small import trucks are small radius and wire size but plenty healthy enough for towing out of gravel traps. One other added benifit is that they are threaded on the end . Makes them easy to adust in and out , plus you can back them up with steel plates so they won't pull through the sheet metal. I dont have any pictures , but I can take One of the 911 tow hook if you need to see what I'm talking about . Cheap Too, about $10-15.00a set (two). Dave |
