Cool, looks easy enough. Your diffuser is so clean

[gaffer1986]

You also have an extra hole in your diffuser?

3" 2bular exhaust meant that the main tray needed to be spaced which affects the way the rear diffuser sits very slightly, but enough to make the clearance between the inner rear tow link ball joint and the diffuser very small... so drilled some small holes to eliminate another potential rattle source

As Vocky told me on Saturday, you need to improvise with these cars.

Carefull there buddy.

Hanging out with Vocky can be very expensive.

Looking at his car I can understand that.

Those rear tow eyes are quite far under the car might not be accessible if you in gravel. I have seen some with an eyed bolt in both sides and a steel cable threaded through both eyes in a loop. This then has a hoop at the end which is clipped to the rearmost edge of the diffuser for easy reach. Quite a neat solution I thought.

Just fitted my rear tow eye today. One little bolt... is that really going to pull a car out of a gravel trap?

Yes, once they dig a trough in the gravel so that they can attach the toe rope

[gaffer1986]

I've never been off the track yet, hoping to keep it that way but when you do go into the gravel does it damage your car much?

[Tony H]

Your paint and wheels will get rashed a bit.

[Sutol]

If all 4 wheels are in and the gravel is deep then don't spin the wheels up in a vain attempt to get out, that is when the damage occurs.

[Andrew aka Stuwy]

depends how much stuff you have attached to the bottom of your car. diffusers, skirts splitters ect

[chris_uk]

When i came off it smashed my splitter, bent my skirts light flew out and clam was smashed, then... After hitting the wall it just made more of a mess.

[gaffer1986]

Best I try and stay out the gravel then. These tow eyes are just for show hopefully.

I was recovered recently using my rear tow eyes. I have fitted two on the rear, the AA man then used a centre pull on his winch to get it on the truck. Much rather be pulled rearwards than via the front.

I'm having a stainless steel towing bracket fitted on Sunday so hopefully that'll be more reliable than the standard one.

You will have fun removing the front clam if your new at this

I'm enlisting the help of a philanthropic villain.
