Wow H2O, their prices are over MSRP!!!

 

I may see if Ken can get me the hook for a little less.

 

h20boy. I am just North of Boyd, East of FM730 (between Boyd and Decatur). I will look through my boxes of stuff I have from my days at the dealer and see if I can find one of each. Contact me through my email address for more info and my exact location. If you take HWY 114 to get to Bridgeport, I'm 3 miles from Boyd, 10 Miles south of Decatur but I have a Decatur address????? and I live in the Rhome voting area. Rural roads and areas are confusing.

will do Bob, thanks for looking for me!

 

Part number for the towing eye for...
S-Type
X-Type
XK from VIN A30645
XJ from VIN G00442

XR88500 (coarse left hand thread)
The part number may be superceded as previously stated but I have only a JEPC from 2005

I found a few but I probably have a box of 20 or more in my boxes of parts.

I also found a few older 20X2.5 mm cast and welded ones

bob, how about a raffle for us tow hook lovers?

I can do it or you can, just let me know?

 

I checked the one "they" got for me and it seems to be authentic - correct numbers, thread rotation, etc. I hope I don't have to use it soon!!! Dale

 

I have it on my 97. Mine appears welded on. There is not way it comes off/out of a hole. It is mounted to stay!

 

brgjag, need a pic to see that weld job!

 

I looked at it the other day. I don't see how it would come off. I will look at it again. It looks like nothing I have seen posted in this thread.

 

Mine is welded also. 2000 XKR.

Speaking of JagBits. I have several AJ16 throttle housings that I listed on eBay back in 2006 and posted a pic I created for the listing. Jagbits has stolen my pic and copyrighted it for their NEW JLM12045 throttle. It even has the turbolister/eBay logo in the lower right corner. I thought I recognised the photo and I found the one I created with MGIphotosuite on my hard drive listed with the date 11-25-2006 at 10:00AM. If I list some throttles on eBay again I will use the same photo and dare them to sue me. Copy a .jpg if you want but don't steal it and then copyright it!!!!

I have 4 left and I think I still have that exact throttle so I have proof that the pic is MINE!!!!!

Sorry for the rant but I did find a box of towing eyes but could not post a pic of them. (needs a url)

I'll help you 'distribute' the towing eyes Bob, we'll get together eventually.

Photo thieving is pretty popular, they were just too lazy to do their own I suppose. At least it wasn't 'art', photographers are very sensitive about their images being stolen.

 

h20boy, What do you mean NOT ART???? The throttle is an engineering work of art (just ask the design engineer) and my photographic skills must have impressed the web designer at jagbits!!!! I should have used a lesser example but I thought a clean one might sell faster than a dirty one. I did find the exact one with the same serial number and I guess I'll keep it because it is now famous (It's listed as NEW on the internet).
Stop by the next time you come through Wise County.

Bob, sure wish I had that tow hook today, my xk8 is stuck in Runaway Bay and will not be going anywhere soon w/o snow retreat or a tow. I'm parked in someone's driveway at the moment.

 

It's about 3:00PM here in Wise County and I just got off my tractor after plowing my driveway all the way to the street. It's at least 8 inches of wet snow and it is STILL snowing. I guess I'll plow it again in the morning so I can get in and out if I need to. The tow eye might get you into trouble if you pull the car through deep snow and tear the plastic undertrays. The last time I drove my XJ8 up my neighbors driveway in deep snow (last month) I pulled some screws loose from my undertray. I will be driving my Chevy pick-up if I need to go out!!!!!
Your car is about 15 miles from here and I don't think you will be moving it soon!!!!

My car is nessled in the garage nice and comfy.

 

Pics at last of my tow hook on my 97 XK8.

 

What about the one(s) for the front??? I think that is what is being asked. Older X100s only had holes in the front and a removable threaded tow eye (20 X 2.5mm RH thread) Later cars have the holes front and rear with 16 X 3.0mm LH thread tow eyes.

Those are crazy looking!

Mine only has one rear, and two front 'threaded hoes'
