how do you fit a rear toy eye?

[stacky]

simple as cut out bumper and screw in a tow eye ?

 

[JackJack]

Screw into where? You would probably have to drill into the spare wheel well.

 

[Dave..]

Not quite as simple.

cut bumper
find large block of metal
weld metal to car
drill hole in metal
tap thread into metal
screw in "toy eye"

 

[Stava]

Why do you want one?

 

[stacky]

oh weld jobby take it flat surface behind the bumper

 

[Dave..]

Well not unless there's anything behind there that's already suitable for drilling and tapping a thread into.

The point I'm trying to make, is that there is no screw thread on the back of a ph2 172, for a rear tow eye

 

[Just Plain Yates]

simple. just hook a rope around the bumper.

 

[Jay Payne]

There is a tow eye thread already there behind the bumper

 

[Dave..]

There is a tow eye thread already there behind the bumper

I thought that was just the ph1s?

If not I'm going to go find myself a corner.

 

[mark123]

My 172 cup has a rear tow eye under the bumper.

It is attached to the spare wheel well though which 182s don't have...

afaik its still on the later cars. But they dont have a hole in the bumper. you can cut one

 

[Da]

There is a rear tow eye thread on the 182's, you just have to make a hole in the bumper for the eye to pass through.

 

[Dave..]

FFS :dapprove:

 

[Will.]

Found a nice corner yet?

I thought I remembered seeing one there.

 

[Dave..]

Got a good corner here, found some pie as well. Tastes of humble.

 

[Will.]

Speaking of Pie. American Pie, ITV2 now.

 

[Da]

Just for Dave -

oh, and the OP

 

[Dave..]

Hang on... is that a threaded hole like the front, or a hole that some one has stuck a toe eye through, and put a nut either side?

 

[stacky]

ha well can this fir a ph2 172 any one or just the 182s as pic above #?
