I suppose it'd be possible to take the loop from a rear bumper bracket and graft it onto a front, but like I said I don't think it'd be authentic. If it WAS some special M-code option it's gonna be rare as the proverbial hen's tooth. Here's a `77 beam with the loop: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v212/KaferChris/Baja/?action=view¤t= P3130018.jpg --- Bert Knupp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Volks, > > I'm looking for a front bumper bracket for my '70 > beetle that has the > included towing loop.
