Hello folks, recently I had to have my C180 uplifted from the street to be taken to the garage because of fuel pump problems. Anyway, there was a problem winching the car on to the low-loader initially as the towing point couldn't be found. Eventually the guy prized of a small panel from the front bumper which revealed a threaded hole. I have never seen this before but clearly it was the correct point as there is nowhere else that a cable could be attached without damaging the body work. Needless to say, I did not have the metal pin that screws into the hole leaving only a loop to which the cable can be attached. Fortunately, after some scurrying around in his cab, the driver did manage to find one.


My question is: what on earth is this thing called. I don't want to be left in this position again so I thought it prudent to buy one. However without the name of the device, general searches on the internet have not been successful. So, what's it called?

 

Sorry folks, please ignore the above question. I have just discovered it is called a 'Towing Eye Hook'.
