Gazboy Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Got a trackday soon and thought I'd better ask where the towing eyes are! Did a search and found a topic about TS bumpers, but i'm stock. Never actually looked for the front one before, but did look for the rear one last year to tow a TVR but never found it. btw- anyone know where the horn is- I'm sure it's staring me in the face lol!

edd_t Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 i've never found the front towing eye either. the rear one is to the left hand side just to the right of the exhaust i think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk-rich Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 there are two, under the front bumper, roughly below indicators Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted June 22, 2006 Author Share Posted June 22, 2006 there are two, under the front bumper, roughly below indicators Ah, the important ones! If these need to be used, what is the chances of the rope/device ripping off either of my bumpers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk-rich Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 i would say high chance ! i was going to make a bracket just in case but never round to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terribleturner Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Gaz here is a picture of the towing eyes without the bumper on. Have a look then go outside and have a feel around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesG Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Gaz here is a picture of the towing eyes without the bumper on. Have a look then go outside and have a feel around and if all else fails, you can hook the tow-rope around the yellow straps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I have a bomex front and have had to be towed onto a ramp using the tow eyes which are now located directly behind the bomex, nearly ripping it off and have been thinking about this lately. Could you get someone (company/fabricator) to get a extension bracket made up, that would be bolted/welded permantly onto the original bracket and would extend a new tow eye out through the mesh in your aftermarket bumper, think a nice red tow eye would look the nuts sticking out through my mesh..
