Got my tow bar bracket a couple weeks ago from David Lee.
You can find the thread in the resources section about purchasing one. They are very sturdy and bolt right into the existing reinforced mounting area for the front of the A arms/torsion bars. A very nice piece of equipment right from one of our very own. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Doesn't take very long to install. The following are a few pics I took during intallation. The first pic is what you see when you first look under the front of your teener and begin the install. You will see the 2 normal 17mm bolts and inside the protector cup for the front of the torsion bar tube is an 8mm allen. Up inside the little slot on the front of the cup. Attached image(s)

LE spoiler is a non-issue. Absolutely no interference.
Spoiler remained in it's usual position during intall. Spoiler also has no interference during use of the Empi tow bar. David also makes a similar bar with correct attachments for a "Draw tite" tow bar. Mine is for a superbeetle tow bar. Looks very similar. This was the easiest and simplest method I have seen for flat towing a 914. David and I emailed back and forth with ideas and designs before this one was settled on. I originally was planing on fabbing up my own bracket using a set of David's tow eye brackets...which these final product tow bar brackets are based on. this is a great product and comes with everything you need to install. Bracket, new hardware, and spacer for front mounting bolt. When finished it does not protrude beyond the spoiler. Actually is behind the vertical plane of the spoiler by about 2-3 inches. It also does not hang down in harms way. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |
