Thanks all.

I ended up getting some M10 x 100 and M12 100 316 stainless eyebolts as these were the closest i could come up with. If i have to drill out the hole a bit that's OK. I have to paint them yellow as well, cause the car is red :roll: Otherwise the tow truck guys won't be able to find them

There will, of course, be photos uploaded after the event on Saturday.
