tow hook

[5.0_SD]

With Ch4r1ie giving us the part numbers, I did a little searching and came up with this...
http://www.capaldiracing.com/isell3/results.php?keyword=&page=3&category=Mustang%20Challenge%20FR500S&action=showproducts
Best prices I could find in a 15 minute search...don't know if the site is legit or whether they're in stock or not...thought I'd pass it along since I will be looking for something like this in the future.
I know for the rear it says CS but it's the same part number as provided by Ch4r1ie.

Yeah I placed a couple orders for the bumper and the dealers would always call and say they were refurbished, backordered or were never going to be able to get them. I didn't try Rehagen though

You tried the above link I gave?

 

[Reno Stack]

Oh no this was months ago, and not at the place you mentioned above, sorry. Just wanted to say that alot of places said they had them and did not.

Just as a heads-up, Capaldi is not only legit, they are stand-up people, and most importantly, RACERS. Used to run Mustang Challenge, now in both Grand Am, and running American Iron in the Great Lakes region. I have purchased MANY times from them, and the only time I had an issue (misunderstanding on a quantity), it was rectified immediately, on a phone call, with no drama. I have also met them at the track, and their cars are gorgeous, almost as nice as Poe's... ;-)

I'm in the process of making the factory brackets from the fr500c cars "front and rear" price should be $200 for brackets and hooks. should be ready next month.

Nice

+1 I've never heard a bad word spoken about the guys at Capaldi

Thanks Dave and Ch4r1ie...that's good to know about Capaldi...nice prices on the hooks and beams too

I'll second Dave's recommendation for Capaldi Racing. I've been to their shop and purchased parts from them. They're a stand up organization.

Did some messing around during my break from class. I cut it all by eye and wasn't really measuring so don't expect a mona Lisa

^not bad but def start "finishing" the edges and you will have a solid piece.

what gauge steel is that? 3/16?

 

[irishpwr46]

1/4" flat stock. That was just killing time. I'll make another, but use a hole saw for the center and actually mark out a proper circle for the outside. I've got all sorts of grinding and polishing wheels for school, so ill be able to pretty it up nicely. I also have to get the car up in the air to see what my mounting options are with the pj bumper

 

[kevinatfms]

anyone thought about what they use on the spec mini/miata/bimmers in scca? they use a tow strap that is bolted to the basic subframe and hang it in front of the car?

example:

My brother has this on his E30, granted he is hoping never use it after he blew the motor and the tow truck pulled the lower front bumper off the car because that is where they decided to "hook it up". But he does use it to pull the car onto a trailer, it works. Just have to wrap is around something solid behind the bumper.
