Jaffa's Return

I have fitted the same front tow eye to SKC

And on the pic below I use the "I" strap to clear the bumper/nosecone

Strap "I" is made specifically for the job of allowing winch cable to clear low slung bumpers spoilers etc

you into bondage then , Dave

Does it clear the nosecone ok when a tow rope is fitted?

Yep. Standard too.

Dont you also have a towing eye
on the spare wheel well?
Moorlands x-pack has one fitted.

Seen this on a few cars and wondered if it was
a German spec.Never seen it in any Ford publications,
but the one in your pictures im sure you know is on the
fiche.

Will look for old photos or take new ones when I refit it. Rope only just clears the nose cone if the towing car has a VERY low attachment so rope is almost less than horizontal - not so good for track day tow trucks.

Ah ok, thanks. Have you got any photos of it fitted by any chance? Seems like a good way for us in England to fit a towing eye without having to weld the x-member. Does it clear the nosecone ok when a tow rope is fitted?

[dasadrew]

Towing eye is a german legal requirement. It is thus standard fitment. Mounts on the long bolts which secure the ARB mounting bracket and a third smaller bolt which goes into a threaded insert in the longitudinal member.

[Frosticles]

I think the tow eye bolts to the Anti Roll bar mounts??

[mk2phil]

looking great Das. Is that a towing eye I see you sprayed along with the battery tray and hinges? Is that a standard German fitment part or did you make it yourself? Where have you bolted it to?
