Towing Eyes

[peteb]

Not sure if it's been covered but does anyone have any good ideas for towing eye locations, front and rear? At the front I was thinking of attaching a frame to the front of the main chassis and taking it under the radiator to the inlet at the front but it's not the easiest route. Rear, I was thinking of using a strap round the roll hoop. Any better ideas?

Depends whether you have fixed bonnet or flip front. If fixed then the simplest way is to weld an eye which is welded onto a steel plate about 30mm x 120mm x 3mm and bolt that through the ' D ' on the same points as the A frame bolts to the ' D ' . You'll have to drill a 20 or 30 mm hole through the fibreglass just to the left of the grill to screw the eye in.
If it's flip front then a load strap or piece of harness around the lower front 50 x 25 mm chassis tube will do it . Mount velcro under the front and attach the strap/eye to that which is what I did. Didn't bother about the rear -- just use the rollover bar if necessary

I used a strap on the front of mine. It is looped around the front chassis where the a frame bolts to it. I then ran a short bit of plastic tube (25mm dia) cable tied to the a frame (the idea is to keep the strap tidy & save some muck flying off the wheel on to it). Drilled a 32mm hole in the fiberglass a fitted a blind grommet. If needed just take the grommet out & pull the strap through.

Have to add - Iv never used it. So it may be rubbish.
