Tow hooks or tow points

[green_henry]

I bought M-17954-F for mine which has the angled bracket.

The Ford Racing ST Octane Academy cars used the same from what i remember. They welded the the bracket to the beam and just slit the grille to poke the end piece out. Fasten the ring to the bracket and youre done.

Here is the front of an Octane Academy car:

Ill be putting mine on here shortly and ill take some pictures. Im still undecided on the Pierce or Ford Racing one though. I do have a welder though so i can do it in my garage. The Pierce one is drill through but id still probably weld the whole bracket to the beam instead of bolting the bracket.

Sucks we didnt get the euro version with the hole and threaded insert already there. Makes no sense why the US cars are that much different.

Any progress on this?

Any progress on this?

Not yet. Been swamped at work to the point where i havent done any work to it. Literally have coilovers, 15x8's, tow hooks and new front control arms to install but just havent had the time.

Hope to get to it when i get back from vacation. Have an even in July but think ill run the chump car over the Fiesta.

I forgot to update this. Installed the tow hook from Pierce Motorsports. Welded it onto the crash beam instead of the bolts.

Hate to necro so bad, but did anyone end up trying that Mustang tow hook as done on Octane Academy cars? It strikes me as more appealing over the Pierce though honestly I have no issue picking it either. That said I can't seem to find the bracket for the M-17954-F in stock anyway, just the hook so I assume I'm missing a part number or something. I got stuck in a snow drift when I got cocky driving through a pass a couple months ago and having a tow strap stuck to my wheel and pulled at an angle pained me, so it's time to get it done while I'm not being lazy lol. Props to the FiST though, with WS90s it took a pure ice sheet on the highways the whole way like it wasn't even there and the only reason I got stuck was my poor judgement with a snowdrift that looked smaller than it was.

I still have the Ford Racing version with the bracket. PM me and we can work a deal if you want it.
