Nismo Tow Hook

I wanted/needed a tow hook for the Nismo. Seeing that nobody sold one FOR the Nismo. I did the next best thing. I bought one for the 370z and modded it to fit the Nismo. :tup: I got it from these guys. And this is what it looks like installed. Too short. :icon14:

So I got a local machine shop to make me a longer thread shaft. It's 2 1/4" longer. :D

I was just looking to do the same thing. How much did they charge you?

Why didn't you have them cut it, add a spacer and reweld it? I'm sure that would be cheaper, and if they can weld worth a damn, it shouldn't be weakened...

The company I work for does business with that shop. So they took care of me. :tup:

You can adjust the tension on it with a set screw so that it does flop. :tup:
