Here is the way I ended up installing it. Had to modify it a bunch. Depending on what Chris’s looks like I might change it to his.

That looks ok as an emergency tow point - as useful as the factory one you're missing.

QUOTE(Olympic 914 @ Sep 18 2022, 10:41 AM)  I carry a couple motorcycle tie down straps. Wrap them around the front of the lower A arm. I have used them multiple time to load car onto trailer or flatbed. Just keep them in the trunk. Working at a Porsche shop, I’ve loaded and tied down a lot of Porsches. The A arms are a great way to pull and secure the car. Just grab some of the fiber straps with a D ring at harbor freight or your favorite supply store and you are set. |

Why would you need a front tow point?

QUOTE(930cabman @ Sep 25 2022, 08:06 AM) Why would you need a front tow point? The recovery I hope I never need. Before me someone pulled it by a drop link that I recently fixed. There is always the possibility of a recovery when I’m not there and I don’t want a tow truck driver damaging anything again. |

My comment was tongue in cheek. Mine has been on the flatbed twice in a short time Hopefully that's a call you will not need to make, but best to have a wrecker on speed dial just in case |

QUOTE(ChrisFoley @ Sep 18 2022, 10:42 AM) QUOTE(jdamiano @ Sep 18 2022, 09:24 AM) I’m trying to add a good place to hook a tow cable to in case I need to drag it up my trailer or a tow truck. I haven’t found one 914 specific that doesn’t stick out the front. ... If someone has a better solution I’m all ears! I will be releasing a new product in just a few weeks which should fully address your needs and concerns. Hi Chris: Keep me in the loop as I would like to have some tow ability for my BB. The dealer Air screwed the front tow hook. Rob Robkammer16@gmail.com |

My front tie downs are now available. Late last week an email was sent to all my customers with the announcement and a discount coupon good thru Christmas Eve or when supplies run out, whichever comes first. Half of the first batch is already sold. Tangerine Racing Tie Downs |
