We're are people getting the Britskoda front tow strap?

Many thank

I think it's just a green TRS strap that people seem to be using, but not sure. Got a picture of the one you mean on a car?

Got mine from "Regal Autosport" they have the tow straps and the reverses threaded bolts that allow you to install it correctly. Cost me about £50 for the strap and the adaptor.

i'm after one for track nights and if there's a Briskoda one i'd rather have that than A.N.Other

There isn't a briskoda one. just a green one

TRS tow straps are £10 on ebay, just modify the original tow bar to use as a bracket for the strap.

Thank you very much off to get one now lol

Hi found the strap were do I get the bolt to put it on from ?

You can modify your original towing eye to do the job or just find a left hand threaded bolt of the correct pitch etc.

Ok many thank

This is how i did mine, works well..

This is how i did mine, still very rigid because of where i cut it..

Just a chisel and hammer job? How long did that take?

And does the cover still fit over the top? I'd have thought the towing eye wouldn't be stored in the boot, if it could be hidden behind the grill.

that clearly isnt going to work like kennys, the tow eye is way to long and the cover will not go back on. Unless your not doing it for cosmetic reason just track, but then that isnt any good I doubt they will tow you with that cut in the ring and even more with the strap on it. You definitely wont get a break down service to touch you with that, although they dont tend to tow the old fashioned way anymore.

Why not? They can cope with more than triple the weight of the Fabia! They've become a standard thing in racing for a reason

not the strap the cut in the ring.

If you say so...

Mines a yellow TRS one from demontweaks

Nope i had a steel saw just out of shot, only took a few minutes then filed where i cut it to take the sharp edge off. I got this one on ebay so still have the original in the boot just incase. The standard tow eye screws in neatly behind the fog light/grille out of sight.

I wonder if one of http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M12-Male-Rose-Joint-x-1-75mm-thread-Left-Hand-WITH-BRONZE-LINER-/380375891704?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item58902b7ef8 would do the job, assuming the thread and pitch size were correct. I guess all you would need then is a high tensile bolt and nut to secure it to that hole thing. Whether you'd want to tow the car with such an arrangement is another question I suspect, as you've then got 2 points at which things could snap and go wrong.

I wouldn't bother with a rose joint. No point, you want to use the strongest simplest fixing you can.

I cut the eye off the end of the tow bar then drilled and tapped an M10 thread and bolted the strap to the bar. I buffed two flats on the end of the bar and used a 17mm spanner to fit the bar to the car.
