Tow hook

Hi

I have entered my first sprint day at the start of next month and just wanted to know how people have installed tow hooks to their cars. I have a RS 2000 and would like to install some. Any advise would be great.

Cheers Lachie

    I have seen guys weld a loop onto the base of the crossmember for an easy cheap solution otherwise you can use the bumper bar bracket holes and make up a stronger rod that bolts to the chassis.

    Thanks Matt. I have see a few done like that. At the minute I am look at the metal tow hook or the tow strap but not sure at the minute I have a couple of weeks up my sleeve.

    Tow strap is a cheap effective solution.
     
    Where are you doing the sprint day?
     
    Good luck,
