I have one on the van as i have had to lose the o.e towing eye, mine is bolted straight through the subframe. Good enough to get you away if you break down imo:)

i towed a mate with one a few weeks back and it was spot on :agree: the rope even snaped but that lasted through.

the only prob i could see is if you were to get towed by someone with one of those sprung bars it could ruin something:crap:

[Brigsy]

Spring bar is a no go, chain or rope would do.

[modfather]

the only people that i would probley get towed by is the aa. dont they use the sprung bars :scratch:

Aa have fold up dollys in the back of the vans.

Aa have fold up dollys in the back of the vans.

so i probley wont need to have a tow eye at all then

If you go to pod or a trackday and break down you will though, same as if they pull you on a low loader.
