'86 911. Am I supposed to have a rear tow hook in my tool kit?

[PabloX]

If not, does anyone know the thread for the tow hook? I'll make my own with parts from McMaster.

I don't, but it may be missing in my bag?

I'm wondering if this was a European only item somehow. The toolkit I have is otherwise complete.

Is there an fitment in the back? Love to see a pic of it

[PabloX]

There's a pic on this site and I guess my idea about it being threaded isn't correct.

My ROW 84 has a hook included in the toolkit. It goes in the threaded hole in the left side of the bumper (covered by a small black plastic plug).

I can try to figure out the threads for you.

EDIT: Here's a link to one:

The link is failing with a PHP error on their server, but thanks.

The thread would be great if you can get it but I'm not sure it is threaded.

[H-viken]

The one I have is threaded for sure. Will see if I can figure out the thread.

To find it on FVD's site go to;

fvd.de

Change language (sprachwahl) to English

Fill in Modell 911 (74-89) - Coupe

Then search for "Tow" and it will be the top product.

[86 911 Targa]

For our 1986 Targa, we have the original factory tool kit which does not include a tow hook.

Also, the car does not have a tow hook insert point as per the owner's manual.



The tow hook attachments for our '86 are located at the front of the car, under the bumper.

Best,

Gerry

My '86 also lacks the rear tow hook. The drivers side bumper trim doesn't have the cap, and there is no hole in the bumper, either. I know this because in trying to replace these trim pieces, I discovered the replacement piece I bought has the hole for the cap, but my old one does not. Now I need to find a cap.

Thanks Gerry! This means I have a complete tool kit at least. I would know all this if I had an owner's manual but, unfortunately, I don't. I have one on backorder so I apologize if I continue to ask questions where I should really RTFM.
