So who makes a tasteful, practical tow hook setup

[DFRESH]

Front of the car---69 Camaro---any pics or suggestions? Looking for a clean install, where you got the part, etc-----Sounds like the track I am headed out too is a bit strict on this part so it's time to make the jump and make it a real race car---

Doug,

It's self tech and the first time I ran with SV I had no tow hook. That said I got a pretty sweet tow hook prototype from Mr. Quick aka Vince on here. Not sure what he has for the 69 but for the 67/68 it's pretty slick. Its a two piece unit and the hook itself can be removed/installed with no tools.

Ok---will see if I can track down and PM the guy.

Anybody have any pictures of Vince's tow hook? Would like to see it.

So here is an earlier prototype of Vince's hook. I understand he has improved the design since. I haven't yet cleaned all the bugs and road debris from my last track day off the car... don't think less of me ha ha ha

Man, that is a clean setup--very nice.

thanks guys, the new hook has a round edge to it and a smaller diameter to clear the bumper when you spin it off. Working on the rear receiver for it too. One hook and two receiver brackets. You can buy one or front and rear.

These should be available in May.

welded to the inner bumper extension. Just a reinforced nut, then screw in a ricer tow hook. Used it 3 times, holds up fine.

This is something I need to do... I have an aftermarket frame so I need to make something.

Ricer hook looks good.. I wonder how strong?

I heard some sanctioning bodies want it to be able to support up to 5,000 lbs.. yikes

I have no bumper.. send me one of your "too large" rejects! lol

I was thinking of making one using one of these.. a plate and a threaded sleeve the right length should do the trick. Should be strong enough:

The bracket should be pretty easy... the rear hook is the hard one without cutting a slot in the rear panel like on the OLC car.

There is a company that makes soft tow straps. You can zip tie them out of view, and if you plow it into the weeds, it comes out.

Here is the one we run on the 65 mustang



I use it all the time to pull the car on the trailer.

[Chad-1stGen]

had a request to take a pic with the tow hook removed. Removed you can't see anything different on the car.

Happened to drive the car to work today so here is a quick vid of the tow hook on the car and removing it. I tend to leave it on the car otherwise I'd probably lose it in my black hole garage ha ha

[Ron.in.SoCal]

That's too easy...

That hook looks great. I might have to pick one up.
