Raceseng Tow Hook for the GT500

[Tatonka]

@Tomster are you still willing to drill and paint a cover for a fella? I just picked up a CFTP car and am having my body guy paint the hook for me. Shoot me a PM

I’m also interested in having this done as well.

Let me look and see if I have any more paint. The speed bit was loaned to me from @kilobravo. Maybe he can pipe in and indicate which one it was.

I'll let you all know when I get home after I see if I still have the paint and the clear coat.

Tom: It's a Milwaukee (not that the manufacturer matters,) 1 3/8 step drill.

Any luck on the paint supplies?

I hate to say that I used up all the black a while ago. I wasn't sure until I checked just now. Its Ford ebony black. You can go to an auto paint supply store and most will mix it and put in in a rattle can. You can also buy the clear coat in a rattle can. I may be able to locate the template for drilling the door cover, but I will have to look for it. Im sure it is laying around somewhere. I can scan it and turn it into a pdf. From there, if it was printed to exact size, that would be a transferable template that could be drilled with the step bit that Kent showed above.

I'll see if I can find the template.

Thanks for the effort! I can always try to make one on my end. No sense in putting you to extra effort. I appreciate you regardless!

its not difficult. The only problem is drilling the hole in the right spot. I have a template that I will upload.

 

[Tomster]

Here you go. I had this laying around. Before you drill, do the reasonableness test. Print in actual size as indicated in the diagram.

I followed the Raceseng instructional video and it worked out pretty well. Used painters tape to mark the location and a step bit to drill.

if it was printed to exact size,

Tom: PDF's are designed to print to actual size so if the drawing in the PDF is to scale, the printout will be as well.

under the print options, there are options to fit. for example, I can print a large pdf onto a single pice of paper if I select the "fit" option. You can also use the "to scale" option.

<smiling> Thanks, Tom but you're talking to someone who has been creating and printing PDF's for about thirty years.

My point was that PDF's will print to exact dimensions not a full page. If you use "fit" and then try to make a template, it won't be to size.

Isnt that what I just said? My graphic was to help people who had their setting on "to fit". If they don't won't come out right. I like you have been using Adobe since it's been in circulation.

Thanks for the advice on the bit though.

Thank you for the help man. You provided assistance and substance and it is greatly appreciated. I have it printed!
