Tow Hook - Ok To Hook Tow Bar?

Anyone know the thread size for the tow hook locations on the 71 911e front pan? I am thinking of towing the car using these attachment points and a tow bar.

Boy, that doesn't sound safe. I think that you would take the bumper off your car if you weren't carful. I think that the tow hook was only meant to tow the 911 at slow speeds and not really subject to stoping and going as in regular driving. Just my $.02... I'm not an expert.

I did it for a short distance driving/towing very gently at moderate street speeds. I think the bolt was 10mm x 1.5 (? on the 1.5)

If you are going to tow it any distance rent a trailer or tow dolley. You can secure the front end with the tow hook and use the rear tow hook to secure the rear to the trailer. Most tow dolley secure the car to the tow dolley by the front wheels.
