[QUOTE="Maynor, post: 7343115, member: 9118"] [b]Any tricks to drilling the bumper support?[/b] Think I may have found a solution that will work with all year SN95's at least. Doesn't require cutting the bumper cover and should clear all heat exchangers etc. I went to a local Corvette place and picked up one of their standard hinged front tow tooks that should bolt right up to the bumper support. I mocked up what the hook will look like mounted below. The hook will ride about 1/2" higher than shown in these pics. Closer to the upper roof of the lower radiator opening. Here's a pic of the hook with the offset to clear the bumper cover: [IMG]http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/gallery/data/500/medium/Picture_0052.jpg[/IMG] The hook will sit higher than this once bolted up but a front view: [IMG]http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/gallery/data/500/medium/Picture_002.jpg[/IMG] Side View: [IMG]http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/gallery/data/500/medium/Picture_0031.jpg[/IMG] Lower grill view: [IMG]http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/gallery/data/500/medium/Picture_008.jpg[/IMG] View just below the bumper support but in front of the intercooler before I bolt it up: [IMG]http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/gallery/data/500/Picture_010.jpg[/IMG] I should have it bolted up this weekend and will give an update then. It looks like the shop also had an off the shelf rear Corvette tow hook that will also work perfectly on Mustangs. I'll try that after I get the front hook in place. I bought this hook used so it a little scratched up. One question: Is there anything unique about the steel bumper support from a drilling point of view? Is it a different grade of metal that will require a unique drill bit to penetrate? [/QUOTE]
