Tow Bar Bracket, From David Lee Options

[DanT]

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.

Dan, Any chance of posting a picture of your car hitched up tp your tow vehicle? I'd like to see how the tow bar clears the LE spoiler. Oh, I ordered my tow bracket from David last night, tow bar from eBay last week. Now all I need are the tow lights David recommends. This is a pretty good flat tow package for less than $200.

won't be able to post any pics with it hitched to my Suburban until sometime this weekend. Car is currently up off the floor waiting for me to finish installing my rear Porterfields and re-bleeding of the brakes.
Once that is done I will post some pics.
By the way, instead of using magnetic lights I tapped into my existing lights with diodes made for flat tow rewiring for the RV crowd.
Worked great and all wires are now inside the vehicle instead of dangling along as you drive...just another way to skin this cat (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
I now have turn, running and brake lights all using the 914's brake running lights. 4 2in one out diodes and a 4 wire loom from front trunk to rear trunk.
very clean and only need to unplug the harness in the front trunk and I am good to go after towing.
With my tow bar and wiring it will take a total of no more than 2 mins to hook or unhook. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

I really like clean and simple things (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif)

I can tell you that I did a test fit of the tow bar after I finished the bracket install and there is absolutely no interference with the LE spoiler. I am using the super beetle tow bar and corresponding bracket.
