James at the G Wagen place gave me my one for nothing. I suspect there are more of them lurking about than bumpers. You can buy ones that fit in tractor places (I did) for £14 which I know is not very helpful

Just for future reference if anyone is interested, it is actually called a PINTLE not a tow hook. Anorak fact of the day.cool

Re: G Wagon Front bumper Tow Hook

i keep seeing the top part of the 'pin' with the handle missing (snapped off) caused by total dummies not being aware that it is just a handle and the real 'hitch' is hidden underneath the number plate ,so they tie the recovery rope onto the small bow on the top of the pin with obvious results .  i put the pins in the lathe and turn down the sheared off remains of the handle and drill and tap and fit a new screw in eyelet.

  know your vehicle..

Re: G Wagon Front bumper Tow Hook
Funny LOL Actually thinking about it, German word for said 5 3/4 or whatever item is actually pinzel, pronounced "pin_tsil". Which makes me wonder if there was mick-taking involved when the part name originally got translated...
