Front Towing Hook Base for Classic Vehicles
Description
Many classic cars were never designed with a dedicated front towing point. As a result, roadside recovery operators often have no safe location to attach a towing strap or hook, increasing the risk of damage to the bodywork, suspension or chassis during recovery.
The Jess3D Front Towing Hook Base provides a secure mounting point for a removable towing hook, making vehicle recovery safer while preserving the originality of your vehicle.
Designed specifically for compatible classic vehicles, the base installs discreetly and remains almost invisible when the towing hook is removed.
Please note that this product includes only the towing hook base. Compatible with M16 hook (e.g. Renault Fluence or Megane)

Why install a towing hook base ?
Most classic vehicles were designed long before modern roadside assistance became common.
When a breakdown occurs, recovery operators often have to improvise attachment points, sometimes using suspension components, chassis openings or other unsuitable locations.
This can lead to:
• Scratched bodywork.
• Bent front valances or spoilers.
• Damaged suspension components.
• Unsafe recovery procedures.
• Delays while searching for a suitable attachment point.
Installing a dedicated towing hook base allows a compatible removable towing hook to be fitted whenever recovery is required.
