Getting ready for a track day, so I went to mount the factory tow hook. I couldn't get it started at first, but felt the click of threads cycling over. So I turned it counterclockwise and it works. I have no idea why the tow hook is left hand threaded. Any ideas?

No but I learned from another porsche driver my first track day, goofy is all I can say.

The only guess i can imagine is that ropes (including tow ropes) are typically right hand twist. You wouldnt want tension on a right-hand twist rope undoing the tow hook.
