    Where to find bolt for tow strap??

    Hi, I'm wanting to add a tow strap to the front of the wee Polo but can't find a bolt to replace the factory steel screw in hook. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    Cheers

    Why do you need it They dont break down that often. One should only use an approved towing device.

    Have seen results of incorrect towing methods causing a fatality

    Oh I see it might be the track car so use the ring and an approved D shackle to attach the strop THe shackle should be the same rating as the strop Not a 1/4in one from Bunnings

    The front of the polo is very restrictive space wise, even more so with a massive front mount to fit in there



    so you don't get a heap of choice as to where you run your piping. In this case right in front of the factory tow hook receiver hole.




    So with all the track work I'll be doing I need a solution and that solution is a strap that can fit around the piping hence needing a bolt with the same thread as the factory tow hook.

    A good engineering shop should be able to give you what you want Take the factory ring in with you and they can match the thread
