Default Tow hook bolts

Hey guys,

I acquired a free rear tow hook but it didn't come with any bolts to attach it. I didn't think that would be a problem at the time but every hardware store I've been to doesn't carry a bolt that will thread into the welded nuts. I managed to find three bolts that would work however they were to short to reach from one side to the other.

Any ideas on where I can pick some of these up?

Lowes carries grade 8 bolts, not sure if they carry the right size.
Online,
Or maybe even the dealership. Call the sponsor dealership here and ask if they can get them for you.

If Lowe's does not have it, Tractor supply carries a pretty good assortment of metric hardware. Otherwise check the yellow pages for the local bolt supply store.

The bolt heads are hidden by the bumper so I can't see the grade markings, but I would use Metric 10.9 that is the equivalent of Grade 8.
