Tow eye loop

[S17EW O]

hi guys. in need of some mega help. Basically have been looking desperatley for a canvas tow eye loop(like what you can find on a silver mk4 golf in fast car recently) hes got an orrange one. The only one i can find is a red one on ebay and was looking for different coloured ones. Maybie black with red trim. Does anyone no a decent suplier??

on the listing it does say othercolours available...ask them

Try demon tweeks or rally design maybe?

sorry guys, lol, cant believe i didnt see the bit that says about other colours avalable, have emailed them, just hoping for a reply now. Im abit confused tbh as to how you attach them to your towing eye too, sounds stupid but i want it for purley cosmetic value anyway so as long as its secure it doesnt really matter......dont intend to be breaking down anytime soon!

spoke to TRS myself as ive ordered a couple. they can make them in any colour but are avalible in red and yellow off the shelf. they put me on to a guy at mallory park race track, who is the guy on ebay and is also the guy who has red and yellow one`s!

so where does that put me if i wanted to order one made in specific colours???how would i order it nand how much would it be?

You dont attach them to your towing eye, tey are bolted to your chassis! Not easy to fit as cant easily access the floor pan on the front without cutting the pumper to bits.

well you say that, theres not alot of my bumper left as ive done a custom fmic so im standing pretty good there. So i would just drill a hole and bolt it to my chassis.....would it still be long enough to have it hanging out from infront of my mesh?

its fair to say, your a star, rang him today and hes finding out for me on monday about the colours i want and to top it all its only gonna b a couple of quid extra postage, happy happy days, cheers guys. Anyone with any sugestion of the best mounting place? deffo want it on show and dont mind cutting a small piece out of my honey comb by my fogs so its just what to actually mount it too!?!?

Is your cooler not in the way of mounting it mate? I know mine is.

 

[S17EW O]

well thats a good question ad, lol, tbh its abit of a spur of the moment, saw it, liked it, want it, i mean i can still get to my original hole for my towing eye, my cooler pipes have blocked off where both my fogs go but ive still got room behind the rest of the honeycomb.....so what do you reckon, sounds naff but im sure i could mount it some way off the towing eye or inner bumper etc, it is genuinley only for cosmetical value

Get a reverse threaded bolt to fit the towing eye, bolt it in to where the towing eye normally goes. job done
