Tow Hooks (CAMS)

[benkParticipant Sydney View build HERE Member since: August 23, 2015 Posts: 85]

Has anyone got front and rear tow hooks fitted for CAMS track days? Trying to work out a neat way of fitting it to the VS.

Thought about straps instead of solid hooks?

thank’s for the reply guys, I ordered 2 red bolt on straps earlier in the week and I’ll cut a slot in the bumper and have it hanging out. Easy to fibreglass the holes back up if I ever need to.

Who was running the super sprint?

I use a nylon tow strap at the front (available most motorsport places) which is bolted to a chassis bolt ( that also is where the front bumper bolts to) and on the back a steel CAMS hook that goes thru the bumper and is bolted thru the rear chassis rail. Looks like this..

Man I soooo want to do that one day.  Guy at work here has a VR 5L manual with a bizzilion km’s on it.  Would be the base of a great club circuit car.  Problem is I need to live three lifetimes to do all the stuff i want

DOH, something else to go on my to do list…

I have a couple of straps there so will do the front like Smitty has, need to pull the rear bumper off and have a look at the structure behind it as I had to remove the tow bar when the Fuel Cell went in..

cheers guys, appreciate the photos. will get getting stuck in fitting them next weekend and post pics up.

Track days are great fun, just finding the time and who runs them at a reasonable price is the challenge haha. Oh and the list of mods that go to the top of the list immediately following a track day…
