Tow Hook Location

The E81-4 RennLine looked to be pretty close to what is needed as a receiver, but the holes would have to modified as they do not line up perfectly with the rods that come out from the frame. That would not be terribly hard. Then you just have to make sure that the thread matches up. That particular receiver is 5/8-11 and the E19.209 Folding Tow Hook looks great. Here are the part numbers and below that is a pic of the Tow Hook Receiver and Folding Tow Hook together. Just imagine it mounted vertical instead of horizontal, as seen in the pic. There are other ways to fab it up, but that's how I would probably do it.

E19.209

Universal Screw for use with Universal 5/8-11 Thread

E81-4
Rennline Universal Screw in Tow Hook Receiver
Bolt On 90° Adjustable 1-4"

Thanks Patrick...Nice item...going vertical puts the device in sheer but it may
be OK that way. Once the receiver is in you only screw the hook in as needed, or just bolt in the cheaper tow strap option, again, as needed.
