Tow hooks needed...anyone make them?

[trainville]

Besides the usual vendors, has anyone made templates for tow hooks? I would like a set in bare metal that I can powder-coat in whatever color I choose. I know it's not that much, but I can't stand the thought of over $100 for two bended pieces of metal.

If not, one of you should make a template and start selling them (under $100). Maybe one of you out there has a set you haven't installed and would be willing to part with......? T.I.A.

I have a set (front and rear) from archer racing that I never put on my '01 GTS. They are black. I have the instructions but am unsure if I'm missing a bolt or two. I have 2 bolts/nuts etc that I believe are for the rear. Not sure if existing bolts attach the front. I'll look up what I paid for them if your interested. I'm not looking to make anything, perhaps just get rid of them at a reasonable price.

The front hook uses existing bolts.

The rear requires drilling into the frame.

Thanks guys, seems I have all the parts. Looked it up, paid $99 bucks for them a few years ago, I could let them go for $50 or so. I dont have paypal or anything like that so I'm not sure where to go from here.

J. Dawg.....what the heck kind of hooks are those?? I hope you're kidding.

Dave, I'll take 'em. PM sent

No, not kidding....I gal by the name of Janni(on here recommended them to me) she has been known to race/haul a time or 2 as so have I.

J -
He's looking for the pieces you bolt onto your car for a wrecker to drag you out of a gravel trap or something - NOT the R hooks for tieing down / towing.

Think that's where the miscommunication might be.

Does anyone know if these will fit the Gen III? I could probably make them cheaper and sell them cheaper if they fit all year Vipers. trainville, I've sent you a PM back.

They are very easy to make. I made both of mine in under 15 minutes. Painting them took longer.Attatching to the car took about 20-30. I did the work at a machine shop but they could easily be built by hand in under an hour with the right tools.
