Custom Roadster tow loops
I have designed a set of tow-loops to replace the stock bumpers and mounts. They were given the visual appearance of the quick-jack points used on period road-racing cars, such as the cobra, cheetah, etc.
They are 1/4" thick 6061 Aluminum, laser cut. The flat faces will be mill finish - a brushed sort of look - and the edges are as laser cut - smooth and dull, with sharp corners. The edges can broken with a file, then wet-sanded and polished if desired - I left mine flat finish to match the rest of the car.
The design allows all four hooks to be the same for cost-effective manufacturing, but doing so will require the rears be installed using a stack of washers at each bolt hole. The fronts will extend out past the opening in the fender, and the rear's past the lip on the back panel above the bumper.
At the rear of the frame, the original bumper mount fit into a "U"-shaped piece of steel welded to the frame. I was going to neck down the rear tow loops to fit inside this "U", but making the two hooks different increased the price.
By using a stack of washers equal to the 1/4" or so depth of the flanges on the "U", the tow-hook can sit on the top of the "U".
I had a full sheet of these cut, and sold a few to other roadster owners. I still have 6 or so sets available.
Price is $80.00 for a set of 4 (plus actual shipping UPS).
