Hi folks,
I am new to the forum and looking for some advice on screw eyes and tow hooks for a variety of poorly equipped vehicles.
I work at a wilderness reserve in Canada and am constantly pull cars out of ditches, snow banks, mud etc regardless of the signs that we post barring 2WD cars from certain roads.
There seems to be a 50/50 chance these little city cars will actually have their screw eye tow hook in the luggage compartment or glove box. Do any of you folks have advice on where to get a number if different hooks for different vehicles? I don’t mind shelling out a bit of money for them but dealers are looking for $80 a pop in some cases and I don’t think I’ve seen two hooks that are alike (some are female, some male, some left hand thread, some normal).
Any help would be appreciated, having a good tow point makes recoveries a lot fast and cleaner—and not relying on the operator with the bald summer tires on steep winding winter roads are would be great.
Alternatively, if you have any suggestions for creative and safe tow points that won’t relieve the car of its bumpers, that would be great too.
Thanks!
GC
