Need tow hook with 5/8-11 UNS thread ?
 

Hi,
I recently installed the G-Model front tow hook receiver (bumper bar replacement tube) and now am facing the "problem" that the inner thread is equipped with a US 5/8-11 thread that is not common in Germany.
My bad I didn't check that before.

Did you guys come up with options on hooks/loops that have the proper thread?
My search on the web does only reveal expensive options though I guess in the US there must be some regular out there in any trunk (Ford, Chevy, etc) ?

Thanks

@Rennline: fyi btw, the riveted aluminium thread nuts are junk, the threads are badly cut and when tightening down they turn loose. I drilled them out and attached bumper with my own solution. Recommend you rather weld threads to the plate.

I used this on my IROC project years ago. Painted it red, worked fine.

Good Luck

Aluminum rivnuts for a tow hook attachment? I agree, it's not the choice I'd make.

Made something up myself of scrap I had
7 cm bolt 5/8-11
an old tow strap
some shims
and a 3/4 inch sleeve

Will do the job in case of a (hopefully) rare need

nice work flojo ..i just wonder why?....I have never seen any 911 being towed by this hook., that is factory..unless you are stuck on a racetrack...;-)

2nd this, I use and eye bolt from McMaster.

If your car is lowered and has the turbo lip it may ruin the valance when hooking up the car to the factory loops at the A-arm as the towing angle of the strap/rope is inconvenient.
