Front towing eye (WHY?)

[Dave_P]

What are the permanant options for use on track?

I've seen some saxo's on here with is it a clio style one?

Are they still available?

Another option would be a TRS strap like i have on the rear on my 106.

[Jimmy-Boy]

The clio style:

[Bedford126]

a lad on the clio sport site makes them i believe he also sells them on ebay - give chip a pm he deffo has one on his 172 so will know where to get one .

[Dave_P]

"chip" or "chip11"?

"chip" doesn't come up as a member.

"CHIP" does, i PM'd him. ;)

[jonathon5]

TRS for me

[loudandproud205]

Si makes them for the clio he is yet to do a Saxo one, there was talk of a development one.

Whats wrong with the OE one just left in?

[Dave_P]

It sticks out a bit much to be left in all the time, i'd prefer one with a ring that hangs down.

[loudandproud205]

It don't stick out to far till its dark one night and you walk in-between the Saxo front and the back of another car and 'TWAT' followed by "mother f*cking, c*nting, b*st*rd, F*CK" as you hit you're shin on it.

Swear it hurts more than hitting you're shin on a tow bar.

I'll see if Si's any further along with his tow eye for the Saxo

[Dave_P]

Lol, cheers.

[AlexB]

What about measuring from the back of the ring to the bumper then turning the back down rethreading so the ring is a lot closer to the bumper

Thats the one.

Do they hang or are they fixed?

[Tufty]

This is a track requirement isn't it to have one of these fitted?
not this item exact, but a towing eye that is

[KamRacing]

Thats the one.

they do them all. We have the hanging tow hooks (http://www.kamracing.co.uk/index.php/manufacturers/omp/omp-tow-hooks.html) on the site. The others are a bit too much of a shin destroyer so have not made it a priority to list them..

for the omp strap http://www.kamracing.co.uk/index.php/manufacturers/omp/omp-tow-hooks/omp-2-tow-hook-straps-fia-approved.html, it's £10 to deliver, Thats almost the same price as the product to buy!!!!

£ 22.46 inc postage, I could buy two for that price straight from OMP distributors here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/EB-578-OMP-RACING-RALLY-INTERIOR-RED-DOOR-STRAP-2-FIA-/350440715636?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5197e4f574

The weight must be set wrong. Little errors happen. It will get changed today.

[KamRacing]

accidentally set at 2kg a tow strap. All fixed so there's cheaper postage or if you want a fully trackable next day service, the UPS option is available as well.

well its not a requirement, BUT if you dont have one they will just pull you out from anything they find, and ive seen them use bumpers and rip them off and even A pillars which mullered a nice 355.

[Dave_P]

It has to be a clio cup type one for me... they appear to be unavailable though. :sad:

[Fulch]

Mine was one of only 30 made spesh for the saxo in a clio style but to the rifght size and length :)

[adamskiTNR]

is this going to be on a race car? or do you want to take it off etc?
if not then you could get a bracket welded on and a bolt on hinge hoop.

similar to this one but in hinges down.

[Dave_P]

The car will be used for road/track day & hillclimbs. I'm getting the o/e one machined at work so it doesn't stick out as much.

[Dave_P]

I got 1.5" machined off it.

The end result...

[Steffrallye]

Will say one thing, ive got the clio style one from a lad on here. Car got towed on to a truck to move to a garage, its bent like a banana. Not the strongest of things.

[loudandproud205]

Nipple rings :D

[Dave_P]

Hopefully I'll never need to use the nipple ring then. :)
