OBP Motorsport 80mm FIA-Compliant Towing Eye
The OBP Motorsport 80mm Towing Eye provides a dedicated recovery attachment point for race and rally cars. Designed to mount to a suitable chassis mounting point at the front or rear of the vehicle, it allows recovery straps, ropes or hooks to be attached when a vehicle needs to be moved or recovered.
Manufactured from 6mm steel, this towing eye features an 80mm internal diameter to meet the minimum eye-diameter requirement specified by applicable FIA motorsport regulations. Correct mounting and finish are essential, so always check the regulations for your competition and vehicle before use.
Available in red, black, yellow or raw steel, the towing eye can be selected to suit your build. Important: black and uncoated raw steel finishes are not FIA compliant as supplied.

Important FIA Compliance Note
The finish is important for FIA compliance. According to the manufacturer’s guidance, black and raw steel finishes are not FIA compliant as supplied. Raw steel may be compliant when coated in a high-visibility colour, such as red, yellow or orange, where permitted by the applicable regulations.
Before purchasing, confirm the required towing-eye colour and mounting requirements in the regulations for your specific championship or event. Compliance depends on the relevant regulations and installation, not solely on the eye diameter.
