My BB does not have a front tow hook or loop, evidently it was sacrificed when the A/C was installed in 74. I would really like to put a ring on the front somewhere and the front subframe mounting point seems to be a great spot for this.
I've seen pictures of 914 track cars with a loop at that spot. anyone out there know where to source one of these?
And then, can I just remove the subframe bolts to mount the ring without the torsion bar ruining the day?

I have a similar need. I’m concerned about the day I might need a flat tow… how to get it on the flatbed without messing something up.
I’d like one that clears the LE spoiler like on the #64 car in this thread: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=337038

Another tow hook thread: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=91455

Here’s what I found online but no joy as yet. Wish someone would make one similar to Jman version with SCCA style loop that clears the spoiler:

Jman (wider loop and low profile, but out of stock) - like photo shared by @larrym : https://jmanporscheparts.com/custom-parts

Track arm plate (for 74 911, unclear if this fits 914): http://www.autoatlanta.com/results.php?par...0341%20037%2002

Rennline for Porsche (not listed for 914; a smaller loop than Jman and taller – could catch curb or driveway?): https://www.rennline.com/Rennline-Front-Tow...roductinfo/E03/

Pelican offering same as Rennline for 914: https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info/RENE...SAaAjrVEALw_wcB

Ebay offering same as Rennline for 914: Set of 4 tow hooks $95: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-911-912-91...5.c100036.m2109

914werke flat tow bracket $159: https://914werke.com/shop/ols/products/flat-tow-bracket

Racetech tow loop might work in a pinch: https://store.windingroad.com/racetech-tow-loop
