Tow eye adaptor / TRS tow strap

Featured Replies

I made and sold about 10 of these last year but kept a couple for myself. This is one of the stronger ones I made, only downside is the pillar drive was off centre so the hole is slightly off to one side.

It's sat in my toolbox for a good few month so some of the paint has chipped off.

This is what you will receive.

From my previous project thread:

TRS Tow Strap

---------------------

So the tow strap arrived in the post today, wasnt sure on the best way to fit it, I know not many people like them but i bought it for looks rather than being practical but wanted it so if it was needed, it could be used.

Tried a few different things and looked at a few different towing eyes.

The top one is the standard Fabia one and the lower one is from a MK4 golf, same fitment but just different lengh.

In the end it wouldnt have mattered very much as i still drilled a hole through it then put some threads in.

End results, very pleased with it!

The bolt alone is more than enough to hold it in place but put a nut on the other side just as an extra measure. Im not sure how stable it will be if its ever needed due to the towing eye being drilled through and not knowing the strengh of the nut and bolt.

And it fitted, Sneak peak at the fly eye on the fogs as well!

Given that the hole doesnt pull through, the tensile strength of the bolt youve fitted would probably take 3 tonne before shearing.. given that ofc it is a 10mm bolt :), so no fears of that being an issue unless you are towing huge amounts :D

That was about two year ago, used it to tow plenty and never failed.

I've used an exhaust clamp to hold rope and that towed fantastic for ages, so this will hold no problem :D
