a guy i pulled out spent about 10 mins looking for the towing eye at the front, me - 30 secs on the back, found!!
wonderboy:
Do some recovery at a charity track day, guess what, half of them leave their towing eye in the service area and the other half dont bring one.
Even ones that are fitted, like evos, are put in such an akward place that no one can find them, or when they do you risk bending bumpers.
Answer is to put the tow rope around something big and solid, like a wishbone...on the understanding that if it breaks its thier fault for not fitting their recovery piont!!
And ask "Do your brakes work?". When they say 'yes', then its their fault for running in to the back of you! Lets just say: Land Rover 1 Ford Cortina 0

Just be careful with wishbones if the car is slightly stuck - it often doesn't take that greater force to bend them, curbing a car can knock the tracking well off so if your not very smooth on the rope it could be simular, and despite warnings some drivers will quickly start saying other things when they realise the steering wheel now sits on the [throw it].
I think I've got a screw in towing eye in my landy that came from a Fiat Mereia I towed to the scrappy a couple of years back. Don't know if it fits anything else but they seem pritty standard so its probubly more use keeping it just in case than relieing on others to find what should be with their car (along with the handbook that tells you what bit of trim to remove to get to it (on a VW T5 Caravelle you take the right hand foglamp suround off for example) - whats the point in taking the handbook out when you sell a car, incase you one day want to remaniss on how to operate the heater? Smugly grin at the long lost radio code?
