Hi all, I've manufactured some aluminium towing eyes to current MSA spec (60mm internal diameter hole) from 8mm aluminium. Thicker than the usual 6mm ones but still lightweight and I have also put a nice bullnose around the top side, bare aluminium at the moment only.

These are the first things I have started producing on my CNC mill so I'd like to get some good feedback to see how I'm getting on!

I'm looking for £22 POSTED, or £40 for a pair.

If required I can modify them to suit any specific needs you may have, we have a full fabrication shop here capable of every aspect of metalwork including sheet metalwork :)

I was going to put that in but decided not to, I was basically going to say that most people wanting to fit these should know that as a primarily motorsport item, they will rarely be a straight foreward bolt on mod for any car. I think on a mini there would be a place on both subframes where they could fit, both of my subframes are out of the car at the moment so can't try, but you can make anything fit if you want to. These are very similar to the ones that Demon Tweeks and a lot of other places sell as a generic item, but when my car is back together I will try and find a way of making them fit easily if they don't already.
