Default 993 Cup Front Tow Hook

Does anyone have a lead on the front tow hook that protrudes from the grille area on a 993 Cup? TIA

Home Depot. Buy a threaded U-bolt, make a plate, and weld it to it. The front tub of the cup cars have a secondary layer of reinforcement that your car won't, so it is a matter of making a tow hook and reinforcing the tub.

:-) Funny you mention HD as I got the required material from Lowes...but before I went fabricating, I thought there may be an aftermarket source with a replica. Thanks for the info Geoffrey.

Does it bolt into the "frame" rail like on the 996 Cups?

No it does not. It bolts to the front sheetmetal between the frame rails.
