For the stickers places like Revolution Racegear, GMP Racing Products, Meridian Motorsports, etc. will have them available for sale.

yeh just fab up something yourself. Nothing to it.

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.

Hey Duncan, I'm in need of two mate. What sort of price are you able to get them for??

Thanks

Dane

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.

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?

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]

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!

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

What happened CC? Not doing the r31 project anymore?

[someonestolecc]

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).

cam sticker packs?

[blackrex]

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.
