Thanks for confirming. I'm switching over to the OE quad diffuser and wasn't sure if I needed to order a new piece as well... About $90 shipped for that dang thing, but I did end up ordering.

 

If you still have it, I'll buy it... Or not best ask for measurements of reverse thread...!
I'm stuck on wet grass, front is two feet from wall and pointing slightly down. Rear tires are less than two feet from the road but still couldn't reverse onto it. Wheels spinning even after trying mates, boards, etc. Therefore, need slight help from rear toe hook/tie down under power to get onto the road...

 

As stated here, in the manual and elsewhere, the black rear tow hook is not for towing. It is used as a tie down during shipment.

 

It's really a question of how much pull you want from that end. If it's just to get traction aid for a couple of feet, you're probably OK as long as you take it easy on the initial engagement.

 

Basically, it's literally less than two feet and even then I'm thinking of finding a proper cast iron or steel version/copy locally from an auto shop or somewhere

 

If I come across mine, you can have it. Not sure where it is.

 

I was told that towing using the rear hook is likely to bend the frame member it screws into due to the angle. It angles down because it is a shipping tie down anchor point. Pulling on it parallel to the ground would create torque on the anchor point. Makes sense to me.

 

Makes sense to me also which is why the manual say's don't do it.

 

That's what I've heard too, and having looked at the place it threads in I'm sure that's the case.

 

Does it look like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/15556984855...3ABFBMgOX1i9Zi

There was one of these in my trunk too. Funny that we have an Aston Martin towhook that we should not use...

 

Yep it looks just like that pic.
