Need a tow hook in San Antonio
Both my 996 and my 986 are missing their tow hooks, I need to borrow or buy this for Saturday. I already called the dealer and they don't have one.
Thanks

I picked up a spare Porsche towhook off eBay for $25.
It was shipped from a Porsche dealer and saved me a bunch of $.
I seem to have built a towhook collection from working on European cars over the years.
I've had customers who had lost their towhooks.
This seems to happen a lot with BMWs.
Since a BMW's second home in on a tow truck the towhooks get used a lot.
Tow truck drivers sometimes forget to return towhooks, so I bought(and lost) some spares.
The newer BMW SUVs (X1, X3, X5) use a different towhook which has the same thread and pitch as a Porsche.
Better yet it is longer, which I really like!
See if you can find one of the newer BMW SUV towhooks on eBay.
The one pictured above came off a 2011ish X1 that was being parted out.
I think I paid $10 for it.
Search for "tow hook" and "tow eye."
