I felt I needed some towhooks on my car,if I ever get a chance to track it.
I looked at all that is offered,and felt that what is available retail was just to plain. So,I designed my own folding set,even did a lift test to make sure everthing worked ok.had'm powdered,and WaLa. Next on the to-do's.Installing a 930 front floating brake setup I recently acquired.

Show us with the bumpers off. Hmm I think it might work. I did a final lift test on each Individual hook by hooking a chain to an engine hoist,at only 1 hook,then lifting that end of the car off the ground by a foot & a half,and then dragging the car around the shop to see if any flex occurred. but I think you should show us with the bumpers off. I'll slip the rear bumper & front valence off this evening,and pop a couple pics of the "Hidden support structure".That'll explain it all. They're useless as tiedowns, because you tie down to something that isn't sprung, like a wheel or the control arm. The Cap'n Every hook is fastened to something that isn't sprung.The front hooks are bracketed to the front A-arm mount points. |
