Dont want to sound like I'm taking the pi$$ mate but have you made sure that your turning it the right way? Watched someone the other day try to fit the OEM one for about 10 minutes before they realised it was threaded the opposite way to normal things!Bought one of these for my K1, just for show, but it doesn't seem to fit my tow eye?! Anyone inform me what I can do?
Cheers

Like I said mate, not wanting to sound sarcastic at all.

Not a bad question really because looking at the thread pattern you need to turn it anti clockwise to tighten it instead of losen lol
Cheers for the replies chaps
It's the tow strap hole that's too small to fit into my tow eye, the circumference of the tow eye is just too thick??
Don't mind how I fit it, don't plan on towing it anywhere lol!!

Rorza, might just do that.
Chaps, I know, but I think it looks quite good. Each to their own I suppose.

We get asked the same question as we sell the Luke versions. The reason they don't fit on the towing eye threads is that the actual 'buckle' part is actually a seat belt harness end.
The suppliers actually recommend that they are bolted to the front bumper support (easier said than done on non track day cars!) rather than 'attaching them to the tow eye hook.
You might find if you drill the hole bigger you won't actually be able to use it to be pulled out of a gravel trap on a track day as there won't be enough metal left and might bend or snap.
If its just for show the drill it out !
We sell loads of them, especially in pairs but who or what they get fitted to I don't know !!!
On a few of the tracks now you must have either towing eye hooks screwed in and/or have MSA motorsport approved tow straps
