RB240z Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Hey guys, I recently had to have my 240z towed (via flatbed) which required removing my fiberglass MSA airdam to reach the stock tow location. I'm looking to fab up a 1/4" thick - flat tow hook that extends out beyond the front air dam....possibly through it. Has anybody here done something similar? Keeping in mind, I want to have the ability to flat tow at the track if something breaks....also, are there any materials you used or reinforcements made to avoid screwing up the frame rails? Thanks, Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZR8ED Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I welded a standard hook to a piece of flat bar steel, and bolted it to the stock mounting bolts for my front bumper. I just aligned the bolt holes in the flat bar (before drilling)so that the hook would clear under the bumper. It works perfect for being loaded onto a flatbed. Trust me I know.

buZy Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Cool thread. Has anyone have pics of the same idea on early style 240z? (I only ask as the cars do differ in this area.) Thanks Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I say get an old connecting rod and use that as your tow hook... That is what I am planning on doing. Plus it is darn cool to have a connecting rod as a tow hook... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
