TRS tow strap + Wills adaptor

[Mattie]

Wanted to do this for a while now and after seeing Will had adaptors for sale had to buy one, top bloke btw.

Anyway fitted this morning just as the snow started,
Took a few attempts to get it how i wanted;





Once i had it in position (a lil bit of plastic had to be cut to get it right in there) i measured up the tow hook cover to be cut



And finished product

looking good mate, getting one myself very soon

looks OK but pointless as a few rain showers and the lack of it getting dried will see the materials structural strength diminish and strap as soon as you try and tow with it .Not to mention the fact in the sunlight the colour will fade.

Never a good idea to leave a tow strap exposed on a road car which is what you have - Not a race car.

Sounds good to me

Looks good Mattie, glad you're happy with it!!!

Very subtle the black on black.

Spose the good thing about putting one of on the 200 is that we can hide it within the bumper, remove the eye, pull it out and replace the eye.

It's made from webbing, the same webbing that is used for ratchet straps.

So what your saying is once the nice man from the AA/RAC has got his straps wet he should throw away and get some new 'dry' ones?

 

[A2ON]

Its not wax coated / dipped like ratchet straps used on lorries and the likes and does not conform to the same load bearing tests either. So no im not saying that .

What i am saying is at spa last year the track was closed for over 25 mins due to the exact above hapening on a road / track car.

Not to mention the fade etc

But as i say i would not do it "again" but thats just me . were not al the same .
