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  Otherwise the tow truck guys won't be able to find them
There will, of course, be photos uploaded after the event on Saturday. michael |
