GS towing eye?

[m1980k]

I'm on a track day and don't know where me towing eye is/attaches... Can anyone enlighten me?

Under the drivers side headlight/ indicator in the splitters vent.

Check that no-one has used it in the past, not screwed it in far enough and then bent the shaft of the male, eyed part (no sniggering at the back please). That's what I discovered when I came to need to use mine. The female part in the car's frame is angled divergent to the long axis of the car so when a tow is attached it is unlikely to be in line and there is a tendency to bend the shaft and presumably to cross thread it beforehand... perhaps I was unlucky but mine was unusable; cue lots of manoeuvring [finally got the spelling right] and slings by the AA man.

Thats good advice - when I had mine recovered I screwed it in by hand and for belt and braces thought I would nip it up with a bar, I must have run it in another half dozen full turns with the bar !!!

Yep I had this too, thread had been flattened, took me and the AA man 40 minutes in the rain to axe saw need thread pattern!! Check before you need it.

When my f1 pump went me and the Rac guy couldnt get mine in for love nor money, had to call a truck with a fully dismountable body so we could push the car on... Scince then I tapped the eye thread out as far as it would go, squirted a little bit of oil in there, put the eye in, did it up super tight and just left it in.

You cant see it unless you practicaly bend down and put your head on the tarmac. Every now and again I check to see its still in tight/not siezed.

I have the same problem, again only found out when it had to go on a flat bed, I don't think there is a way to fix this.
