I just got a Benen Ind tow hook and I have no idea what to bolt it to. My friend just gave it to me so I might as well put it to use. I heard they dont make these anymore, so sweet! I want it mounted horizontal not vertical but yeah here are some pics of it, give me some suggestions.

 

um, you have to weld that small piece into the frame or cross member, then bolt the long piece onto it, it will pertrude trough your bumper so you have to cut a slot.

 

Dear god please dont...u drive a Z not a civic

 

Street car no, track car yes.

 

search for a local machine shop that can make you an L shaped bracket.. attach one side to the frame where the bumper support goes, and another for your tow hook.

+1 on cutting of the bumper for the tow hook to slide through.

 

wow i didnt know so much went into instlling one of these on the Z

Guess its not bolt on like the hondas lol...at least for the rear i mean...

 

Be original. Bolt it to the rear bumper.

 

Bolt it to your passenger door.

 

'thats not a tow hook. this is a tow hook.' and its on a Z....


this one is sronger than the one you posted. may need bumper modification.

 

Lol mines not for towing things. Its for getting towed out of bad situations on the track

 

Yeah I have a nismo v3 rear so you think it could just go through the slot where the wire mesh goes? So i dont have to actually cut the bumper only the mesh

 

if your machine shop is capable of measuring twice and cutting once... why not?

 

Wait you have one too right? Do you have any pics of the mounting point

 

That's a trailer hitch...

 

nah i hook a fat tow strap to my rear tow hook and attatch the strap to the front tow hooks of another truck and pull hence the plate NVR STUC. trailer hitches have a ball for a trailer to attatch to.

 

These usually come as a set of Front and Rear. I guess your friend has no use for the rear and gave it to you. This is actually a universal part. The front one is what you need for the 350Z. you would need to remove the front bumper, find a solid spot (chassis, or front bumper beam), then cut/drill some holes to bolt down the tow hook.

Here are some pix of this front tow hook installed on track prepped EVO9 MR

 

Is the 'tow' sticker a track or ricer requirement?

 

That alone gives you 10000+ hp. you should know that by now.
