sorry that this is off the subject, but what sort of grille is that in the top photo on Matt's old green car...is that a Mk 2 grille??

Cabby. They came out on the Karman Cabriolets. That's what i've got on mine.

Again, they're on the later cars. Not sure exactly but mid to late 80's?

So where is the best place to affix the flexible strap? Or you only use it when required, ie when you need towing?

[Peter Jones]

Needs to be fixed to the car when you're on the track, There's CAMS regs.......

Schedule C General requirements of vehicles refers

6. with visible towing points (capable of accepting a 40mm OD cylindrical test object) fitted forward of the front
axle and rearwards of the rear axle and capable of towing the automobile on a sealed surface with its wheels
locked;

There seems to be a little confusion here.

We're talking about emergency towing eyelets, not trailer towing tow bar just to be clear.

Post '78 had Steel loops welded to the chassis protruding through the front and rear aprons.

Here's mine.

Note that I've used an screw in eyelet (red) in my tow BAR hitch receiver here for track towing purposes as the factory tow EYE needs to be re-welded. You can see the factory tow EYE on the far right of the shot.








The earlier cars with chrome bumpers had a metal loop bolted to the underside of the front and rear bumpers for emergency towing purposes.

ah I c.

I would have thought that would be enough for track use.

but if for owing things than obviously not.

go the R888's : )
