WHAT COLOR SHOULD MY TOW TABS BE?

[BJCHEV396]

I want to thank everyone for your input and info on the tow tabs.I'm torn between painting them yellow or black.I'll post pics after they are installed.Bill.

yellow or orange, you want them to stand out! Why else would you put them on your car? You are not going to flat tow anywhere are you? They are for looks?

I had silver ones (made from my black ones by Paul Tholey) on my blue 68. I sold the car recently but kept the Tow tabs for future use since the black ones can't be removed from the other car.

I think we need to have Sully comment in on this one. Jim, what should Bill do, knowing what you know now?

There is a fine between doing Day 2 right and comming off like a poser. I'm saying that not so much about the tow tabs specifically, but more so about the whole presentation of the parts on the car.

Dave, welcome back buddy! I just PM'ed on the other site too.

I emailed Don and has nothing left... not a single tab.

This is a May 69 magazine ad, note the early tow hub design- much like I mentioned about the early TB30 design.



Here is a March 1973 catalog of the later hub design.



I'm really beginning to think there is no timeline that corresponds with color. It would help if I could figure out when the timeline began.

Now here is a 1974 Midwest publication offering NMW products where it seems they used some of the earlier art work for the ad.



Here are both the later designs in both Silver AND Orange. It does look like ornage paint here, not primer but if you look at the thread, there does seem to be a variety of orange.





There is a trick to when you mount these onto your tow wheels to save a step at the track. Anyone have a picture of some wheels modified for these tow hubs? Not required to be used but when you see it, you'll get it.
