someonestolecc Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 Thanks blackrex. I would do it myself but I don't trust my welding skills vs the possibility of a flying ropehook... and I don't own a welder, have a garage or the material itself.

phunky_monkey Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Hey Duncan, I'm in need of two mate. What sort of price are you able to get them for??

Duncan Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 AAA-67-4612 Universal 6-13cm Small AAA-67-4613 Universal 6-13cm Small Angled AAA-67-4623 Universal 13-23cm Medium AAA-67-4637 Universal 23-37cm Large Which one? I can find out a price, but it will be cheap these guys are a good supplier. One other thing to think about is there is a trend towards tow straps instead of hooks on cars, they are in favour with CAMS because they don't stick out in front or behind the car.

phunky_monkey Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I'll take a look at the car tonight and work out which size I need, thanks mate. I had heard that they were contemplating banning the solid hooks and moving to straps, but hadn't had it confirmed by anyone. I don't want to use straps as they will rip my front and rear bars off due to the stock tow hook positioning, so it's not really an option... Has anyone else heard much on this?

JAGR33 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Dane - I'm pretty sure Duncan is referring to using a strap instead of a tow hook, basically bolts up to where ever you were going to bolt up the tow hook, like a loop where you can pass through the chain or strap to pull your car. So basically all you will see is a strap with a loop hanging off you front bar..... A few Porsche race cars I tow around have these instead of a solid hooks...

blackrex Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 They are looking at banning the solid hooks in "contact" type events as the solid ones in a angled side impact tend to dig into the side of the other car and tear it open.

Ahhhh I see Jack, I thought that the straps attached to your stock tow hook position and hung down from the car if you know what I mean. Thanks for clearing that up. I'll take a look at what would be the best option for me. I won't be doing any contact type events, so the solids shouldn't be a problem, but if they move to a full ban I wouldn;t really be happy with a big hole through my front and rear bars for no reason!

someonestolecc Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 Thanks for the post Duncan they were exactly what I was after. I probably won't be needing it anymore and the next car will get the straps it deserves Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/136318-where-to-get-tow-hooks-for-the-track/#findComment-2715943 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANWHORE Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 What happened CC? Not doing the r31 project anymore? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/136318-where-to-get-tow-hooks-for-the-track/#findComment-2716464 Share on other sites More sharing options...
someonestolecc Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 I'm broke. Priorities = pay debts then saving to travel... So I'll be driving a stock r31 for a while. I don't think I'll even be doing the suspension/wheels (which in a stock r31 sucks the ass).

blackrex Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 cam sticker packs? I assume that you want to know where to get them from? They are available from most motorsport stores, like Revolution Racegear, GMP and JR's Autosport. Places like Meridian Motorsport also sell them.
