Dont S1 elises have a two eye that fits onto the roll bar just peeking out from under the roll bar cover?

Man, you buried that deep.

Great pic ain't it

I think the first time we met I was emptying gravel out of my undertray over in France. God bless you for helping that was one of the last times Lisa ever came out on track with me

The two tray - chassis bolts

What the fcuk is that!?!?!?! Some RANDOM towing eyes in this thread!!!!

That looks like some serious piece of towing eye!

I couldn't see them on their site mate ? Could only find the standard small tow eyes ? I don't think one of these would fit on mine anyway as I have a jimsan diffuser!

I think if someone would built a set of these, they would sell like hotcakes:

That's essentially what the other eye is.

Spans both subframe mounts and centralises the pick up point.

Errrr, easily done. You want me to get a price? Alloy / stainless etc?? I could easily replicate the triangular one above if required.

I think the trick is in all those diffusers trackers have on, to make sure no fin is touched. (some fins surpass the bolt location)
Prototype should be tested on a jimsan, mmg and tat i think.

Sector 111 not Hangar 111

Sorry Tom - My fault 'Sector 111' not 'Hanger 111'!

here it is

http://sector111.com...ook_package.cfm

and I got mine from Dave @ Seriously Lotus who does all the Sector 111 in the UK, A real top bloke as well!

With my TAT diffuser the diffuser 'blade' is too close to the chassis bolt to use a EliseParts tow eye or similar as if you were to pull the car with a 'single' tow eye mounted there it would take the diffuser out as it straightened up under the load!

The Sector 111 as well as pulling from two chassis points equally, positions the 'eye' more inwards and away from the diffuser 'blade'

Certainly not cheap but very well made and is like you say a serious piece of kit, the front folding tow hook sell very quickly on here if you don't require it to keep the costs down!

Great stuff cheers Simon, that doesnt seem that expensive considering some sites have that front tow eye at £100!

Hmmm, so the design for a simple rip off should be something like:

I wouldnt mind a replica of simons in yellow, although im still thinking it might not fit with the Jimsan! Smiley's design should fit though!

I can get alloy plate or stainless plate cut at a sensible price. I could do whatever was needed. Didn't seem to be a popular option above though.

[CocoPops]

That Sector111 isn't a cheap option is it? £130 I think I'd risk bending a TAT fin using the £18 eliseparts/eliseshop rear tow eye.

[FLD]

£130!! Blimey.

[ChrisS1]

£130 is for the front and rear toe eye. Still very expensive though.

I think for trackers that run a diffuser, it would be a perfect solution.
Also nice for dyno sessions.

So what's the plan? You build some and sell them individually, you need an X amount of commitments/payments? Spil the beans.
