Tow hooks

[LateApex]

Open track days ...

With the bonnet on the Coupe, front-mounted tow hooks are not obvious ... I wonder what others are using :-)

The answer that I liked the most is using one of these on the front sway bar:

I'm planning on using this, or something similar to pull the car into my trailer with a winch.

A lot of people use a bracket or strap through the opening on top of the hood. A strong attachment point middle top of the chassis.

That looks like a great option for your planned use Rian. Thanks!

For race use however, such as in SCCA and NASA events, the stated objectives are roughly that a recovery vehicle driver need not get on their knees to find a hook up point. The mounts of the sway bar MAY work, but I am thinking may also impinge on opening the bonnet.

Looking forward to seeing your finished Coupe shortly !!!

A strap here would work well on track day. Can actually mount one right through the aluminum to that top rail :-). These may work: https://www.andysautosport.com/products/racequip__898148.html

Now to a rear tow hook .... hmmm.

I remember on one of the build threads someone making a large angled piece with an eye at one end to give an anchor point for the tow truck driver when he was racing. I remember that he bolted it onto the frame (I think) inside the radiator vent hole on top of the bonnet and came out of the vent towards the front.. He made it removable for days he was not tracking the car.

I am still trying to find the pertinent thread, but I search foo seems to be off.
