towing eye

General General Lotus Talk

When I was at Donnie last month I noticed someone had a really cool front towing eye on there car. It had a swivel eye.

As I am prone to going in the odd cat litter, me standard one is out of shape and I would like to upgrade it.

Anyone point me in the right direction.

Cheers

That was Jonnyfox. I think he bought it from “Sector 111” in the USA, but no doubt he’ll correct me if I’m wrong.

Will be interested to know if you want to pay the asking price, you being a Jock & all that

If you Google ‘eyebolts’ you may find a product you like.

If you Google ‘driver training’ you may not need an eyebolt.

Lol I’m sure Evo_ufo has more carbon than me…(he’s even got the seats)…as well as lots of other funky stuff! The Sector 111 tow eye is well made though, a hell of alot better than the standard!

surprised nobody has pointed out that the weakest point is the “post” that the eye screws into.
I have seen them destroyed following a drag out of the kitty litter…might be an idea to consider beefing up this before bothering with the eye/

I think that perhaps an ‘inverse’ law is at work here…

That the smaller it is the less chance it will ever be used! (yes I am talking about towing eyes!!! )

You not wrong, If you dont go off you not trying hard enough

How heavy must that thing be
It’s a no no because the Porsche GT3 boys all have them so we’d better stick to OEM me thinks
