John,
Is that attached to the bumper? Do you work for Mercedes? (That was a joke, you know, over engineering). I need to re-learn how to weld, that looks like it was fun to do.
Back to another question; How much weight will the rear bumper mounts hold?
I guess its probably a bad idea to mount a hook on the rear suspension crossmember,
which is where my car already has a towing eye. Its just kind of hard to get to and 1 1/2 inches instead of 2. Keith saw my last car's hook in the same place and said it was a bad idea, I guess its better to bend the rear valence and bumper than the suspension.
I bought a couple of these d-rings painted red from http://www.strapworks.com/Rated_Meta...s_p/mdr-5k.htm
and there's a upholstery shop nearby to sew my old seatbelts to make a tow strap.
So fo about $10 and my aged out belts; tow hooks. The front I can bolt to the frame rail where the tie down is, but the rear is messing with my head.
Argh! Its the insignificant details that end up being the more complex.
