to make a long story short, i am in industrial design as my major in college-

im taking this metal class, and doing a "swap project"

one person machines something for you, and you machine something for someone else

so i am having the guy machining for me, a tow hook the same shape/material as the real thing (aircraft 60-61 aluminum)

question is: i dont have an actual tow hook, and I want to know exact how it attaches to the stock tow hook in the rear-

i know the stock tow hook gets sandwitched between the benen and the other piece-

both do both bolts go through the stock tow hook, or just one?

don't know about benen's, but GE's there's only one big bolt that goes through all three items (tow hook, stock tow hook loop and tow hook washer).

just one bolt the one towards the motor., hope this helps.

did you get a longer bolt? mine aren't protruding through the nut at all Im instaling them on a DA, I think it will be fine as is, but am interested.
