So, I have made hundreds of these and have many satisfied customers. I flat tow longer distances as it gives me an insurance policy that if it stops running I can always get it back home at minimal expense. It's also the only way the wife will go on the further trips. You don't even notice it's there. I leave mine on all the time. The LE airdam allows for the bracket to be accessed without removing anything.
The assembly bolts to the "frame" at the front A arm mount point and we provide the hardened steel bolts to do so as part of the kit. The LE airdam is ONLY available at $125 with the purchase of the tow bar. Brackets are optional and not required if a Empi style tow bar is not used. So, who's interested? I'll post up more pictures later today. Attached thumbnail(s) |

His is a diferent design. Functionally woud be simular. Im just not a fan of the amgle bracket. Other than that mine you used to have to buy the super beetle tow bar for mine. With the new adapter, you will be able to use a tow bar that is less expensive and you could pick up localky to save shipping on a heavy part. Cool (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) I just got a "notification" that I was tagged & could follow the embedded link to this thread. Thanks Andy! To address the question Kelty posed... While I dont understand what your issue is with the use of an angle on the construction of my bracket, it looks like you are now intending to adapt your bracket to mimic the function (& price) of one that is already available! HERE I guess imitation "is" the sincerest form of flattery. |

HERE I guess imitation "is" the sincerest form of flattery. No the design of mine has not changed. I've simply made adapters to allow for the customer to use a less expensive tow bar and save some cash. My problem is that the angle bracket gives you a wider profile to "catch" something with. You invite frame damage should it catch with any force as they do mount to the frame. That's the idea of the rounded protrusion used to mount the bar. My exposed profile is 3/8" looks like yours is at least 1-1/4" Thanks for jumping on the thread and plugging your product. You don't see me jumping on your classifieds and threads.
