HELP ! tow tabs installation.
 

hello Guys.

anybody have any good pics on how the tow tabs mount on a 72 nova? it should be a no brain er but nothing lines up or meets the angle of the dangle. if it mounts on how i think they go on, it will bend the lower bumper. do you need to drill holes in frame also? nothing lines up to even give me an idea how they should go on. thanks all for your time.

I think there is a decent pic here. I do have the original I structions on my pc I can post them tomorrow. I've had good success bolting them up, though not everyone drills the extra holes.

thanks Paul, that helps a little. the bolt that goes thru the bumper and tow tab are at different angles. if i tighten that bolt it will bend the bumper, nothing on the frame lines up also. a good pic is worth a thousand words. thanks. Jim

Looking good Jim. Mine came in today.
How many drill bits did it take to get the holes in the frame?
(BTW, the local store called and wants all their milk crates back) LOL

Paul, I will send you a pic when I get them mounted.
Right now my spoiler is blocking mounting and I don't want to butcher it to have both.
