Default Tow Hook GoPro Mount?

Is there a GoPro tow hook mount that works for Jaguar F-Types? I've only ever found license plate tow hook mounts...

You’ll need to purchase the license plate mount and adapt it to the GoPro. The 20mm reverse thread is so obscure that you can’t even find custom tow hooks that fit.

I just found someone that makes it. https://www.cravenspeed.com/the-tow-...jaguar-f-type/

Just bought one, will find out if it works or not.

I haven't done it but wouldn't it just be simpler mounting your go pro base through the eyelet of the OEM towhook with the appropriate size washer or shim and a longer fixing screw or a shaped shim/mounting plate from underneath

( eg : ___/I I\___ ) with the normal screw

Just wanted to say thanks to the OP for posting this. I'm doing my first track day next week and purchased this mount for a GoPro (because does it even count if you don't film it?). I did a little test run yesterday and it was rock solid and definitely makes me feel more comfortable than a suction cup mount would at track speeds/forces.
