If this has been done before then please ignore.

 

I wanted to create a towing point which could be used with my aftermarket front bumper.

I welded the 2 original towing brackets together to increase their strength, and then made up an M12 threaded boss and welded that to the bottom of the brackets. The boss just pokes through below the undertray.

 

The towbar thingy is just a bit of 50 x 6 flat ally bar with a tow rope attached.

When I need a tow, (hopefully never) I'll just bolt the plate up and away we go.

 

The bolt length is such that it bottoms out in the boss just before clamping the plate fully, so the plate can swing a bit during towing.

 

Just what i'm looking to do, any more pic's please. ;)

Not sure what else to photograph. Might be able to poke the camera through the bumper and take a shot of the brackets bolted up.

Looking at the pic it looks like I made a small extension piece from steel flat bar and welded that to the original brackets first, and then welded the boss to that. The rounded bit just poking through the cover is the bottom of the Nissan brackets.

Just take the 2 brackets off and weld them together and make a plate and boss and weld on. The drop distance will depend on how low your bumper is.

I'm very low so will have a look at this at the weekend.Hope i never break down but..........
