Default a couple of random questions

random stuff crammed into one post

what are the enduro guys running for brakes and how did they hold up and are they still usable rotor and caliper wise for future events

whats a good material for a a soft tow hook nylon wise and where to get I guess

Can you ground the head lights to the radiator support instead of running the wires back to a junction

whats a good resource for setting up a fuel cell

an oddball one, how do the EP's deal with fuel pressure with no return line ?

Calipers will be toast after an enduro (need to rebuild) and the pads are good - just go easy on brakes and they will last long. I've seen XP9's go 3 hrs through the backing plate and as long as 6+ hrs with life left.

Most new cars are like this... emissions related thing (fuel tank vapor emissions?).

How would you attach this to a Teg/Civic?

I am a little confused on the image too - if you look at the image on the bimmerworld site, it looks like that hollow tube isn't hollow and that's a stopper from it coming back through the bumper slit (looking at the Turner site, I thought that was the end that attached to the bumper shock ??). On the Turner site, it looks like the left end opening would be for the tow crew, but on the bimmerworld site, it looks like you'd use the greater opening in the middle for the tow crew and the end closest to you has a rod to keep it from pulling back through the bumper slit. Anyone know which way that's supposed to be oriented and if so, what/how it would attach to the bumper shock?
