After messing up some of my front plastics, and having nothing to hook up to if I get stuck, I thought I would attempt to get rid of some of the shortcomings.
Here are some pics of what I did. But basically, I cut off the 2 sorry little tabs there that the black plastic bolts to, and cut and tacked in a new bar there and attached the tabs to that. Hopefully that will hold up better.
At the bottom I tacked in a new bar as well and attached some thick metal stock. I drilled a hole in the metal stock for a clevis.
After I got it all where I wanted it, I took it to a friends shop ( www.rpiracing.com ) And he tig welded it all up for me. My welding skills were not to be trusted. So hopefully now the front end will hold up better and I have a place to tie a rope to if I get stuck.
