have a favor to ask, 88 dbs only

[jw 325ic]

can someone take off their front plate and take a pic where the towing eye threads are? it would be muuuuch appreciated. my cars having driveshaft problems, so if i decide to go down the street and need to tow home i can put that in. cut my early model tow hooks off and have a db plate filler. the bumpers tucked so much i cant get it off...woops

towing eye threads? did the 88s have those? interesting. i thought all that was there was the holes for whatever plate holder/filler. seems like a bad place to have it as i can see the aluminum just ripping out.

??? mine has it, right behind where the license plate would be... ive used it once and all was fine...

[Van Westervelt]

You just want to know where it is so you know where to cut it or the like?

[monty]

Doesnt make sense to be behind the plate.

cant you pull the bumper back out? or did you screw it in place after tucking it?

i did the whole towing eye/tow rope thing in 06 to pull it out to put on the plate filler. i never did put in set screws because the shocks were kind of...sticky? they would slide out easy, but if i got a good grip they would pull out with a good tug. but when i reinstalled the bumper after the filler, i kicked it in as far as i could get it, covering the two bolts that mount the bumper to shocks (88+ bumpers only). so now i cant even get the hex socket to the bolt, or get a good grip. gotta do the towing eye if i want that bumper off again lol. might have found a lead locally on a cheap rear drive shaft so i might not need to do all this. fuck me that was long, im tired as hell...

if you unbolt one of your bumper shrouds you can move it out of the way enough to pull one side of the bumper out and then the other.

I bolted a plated with a tow hook(or strap) to where the bumper shocks are mounted.

Im gonna have to take the front all apart, im ither missing so
ething or just not seeing it. My carooms just like that but the 2 screws are missing and the
threaded hole in
the
middle is
blank ill check under the valance to see if theres the to hooks, im thinking cause the last
owner banged it up is why i cant figure it out. Does the runner have a
small plate centered behind it( 3 holes)?

if your car is an 87, it doesnt have the threaded insert. this was an 88 only thing.
