Front Tow Hook Thread Size? - LotusTalk

stea1thviper · 03-13-2010, 01:46 PM

Hey everyone,

Any of you know what the threading size is for our tow hooks? Reason I ask is because I've seen no tow hooks made for our cars that are to my liking, and was thinking of fabbing one up myself. My car never came with the original tow hook so it is proving difficult for me to figure out the threading. Thanks!

The tow hook thread is M8x1.25P.

Same here, I am drawing one looks like the Lotus GT3 to either mate with the Sector's (use the parts from Sector and combine) or go all the way to clam on the tow hook structure.

Anyone have pictures of how they have resolved fitting a front tow hook to a 211 ?

Sketch a drawing of what you would like.

I was thinking of doing a run on some tow hooks just to build my skills using CNC. Was considering using some titanium for practice. However, doing that could really be bad if I start destroying cutters. Might just stick with Aluminum.

Jim Clayton used to make a nice tow hook. (or search speaker rings for his info. )
