Front tow hook/strap

[CCBrian]

I was told the tow hook set doesnt really work on the front of a new ACR...I looked. What are people doing?

 

[BennyBad]

woodhouse sells one that is removable

 

[mjorgensen Woodhouse]

We can help you with this no problem. Have installed 10 pairs on ACRs that have come through.

i brought the removable woodhouse hook for my '06, the front is a very simple bolt on install and can be fitted either on the left or right handside of the car, the rear tow hook needs some holes drilling.

the kit is sold in pairs, both front and rear are identical items

the threaded bar is left on the car and you just screw the hook/webbing strap into it when needed

if you send me your email i can send you over the install .pdf instructions to take a look at

How is the bar mounted to the car?

Thanks Brian out right away!

The bar is mounted through an existing bolt hole in the front support.

I just want a front tow strap so if anyone wants to split the pair let me know. It looks like fron and rear are the same

 

[Neil - UK]

thats what i did, brought the kit (x2 hooks) as i also only wanted a front,
then split the costs with another UK member who had the other one

So is just a front tow hook that is required by most events?

 

[Viper X]

A front tow hook is the one most used during track events.

Archer Racing also sells a metal front tow hook that bolts to the front of the ACR without any issues - I have one on my ACR.

I do like the idea of the soft front tow hook as it won't ding your shin if you aren't careful when you walk by it.

Most track outfits want front and rear tow hooks. Haven't seen a good "rear" tow hook yet. The metal one is too low and drags over bumps while driving to the track.

I'd like to see some more pics of this soft hook installed both front and rear.

Do it right....Front & Rear, it screws in so you will not see it when you don't want to...Just imagine...Your off track...the towing people can not tow your car out from the front only the rear....If you don't have a rear tow hook, the only alternative is to grab a chain & hook go underneath & pull...If you can live with it...you better believe the towing company will....

Hope this helps, The rear one will require a little drilling and a bolt to affix it, but pretty simple.

Are you guys driving with these installed? I have a set and they seem like they'll be fine for a tug but they seem too 'cantilevered' for driving with them installed.

 

[ACR steve]

My feeling is yes if it was my race car the sanctioning bodies require front and rear for good reason . However my ACR is not going to "raced" but it will do track days and since the rear has a factory tow hook attached to the frame it should be enough to get a hook on. There is not that rush situation like during a race

 

[mjorgensen Woodhouse]

If you tuck the strap over behind the rod it is out of the way and will not flap against the paint. Plus it looks kinda cool ;-)

If you want I have another one you can buy, just give me a call or Email

 

[ACR steve]

Thanks Mark calling now

 

[mjorgensen Woodhouse]

Wow thanks for all the calls and Emails guys! I didn't mean for this to be a real sales pitch but hey that's cool. Maybe I should do daily specials that are only for 2 hours and post them!

I thought the cable to the spliter was in the way of the bolt hole? If they fit the ACR Im in.
