Merkur Tow point install pics?
December 17, 2006 07:21PM
Got some sexay tow points/hooks from JVB and the only picture I can find of install is the pic on his site of them on a different car.

Two questions:

1.) Fronts: I think they will install on the inside of the frame rails, but the lowest mounting hole is floating in space. Is this point to be located on whatever radiator support I fab?

2.) The pic of the rear(on JVB's site) show the hook sandwiched between two vertical plates somewhere in the rear. Are these points on the bumper beam? They're not on the back of my Merkur, that's for sure. Do I need to make some?

If anyone has pics, that would be extremely helpful!

Cheers! John

I am not using the JVAB mounts on our XR. The rears are meant to be mounted on the frame rail. I don't know about the fronts. I think the lower hole is for a cross support between the two sides.

Thanks for that info Matt. I'll wait to hear what JV suggests.

Cheers! John
