Race tow hooks
Hi, can you guys share what you use on your race cars? I still have the big 76 bumpers and will use these for a while until I swap for fibreglass or early.
Thanks, Joe |

Mine used a piece of 1/4 inch steel , about 4 inches wide and 10 inches long, enough to get fully through a fiberglass bumper. Most places want it red and an arrow pointing to it for the safety guys. It has to be strong enough so the two truck can yank you out of a gravel trap........

Mine is similar to John's except mounted differently. It is bolted through the headlight 'box' which is double-walled as I recall and plenty strong...it's been tested in action several times, unfortunately.
