Default Rear tow hook dimensions?

Does anyone have dimensions of a rear tow hook for a 92-00? I don't need exact stuff, just general dimensions such as length, where the holes are positioned for the bolts, how far apart. I know I could go outsde and sit around and mock up a card board one but it is snowing outside... thanks for any help. I'm going to be making one this week, paint it purple, it'll be all for aesthetics, not for use. I hate front ones so that's an automatic no-no.

Does anyone even know the bolt size...? I have a wooden bracket mocked up and I was going to use 1/2" bolts but the 2 bolts wouldn't fit inside the stock hook.

Snow tonight Expecting up to like 8 inches, yay! (Snow day? )

with the tow hooks for sale they use one bolt in the stock tow hook and one outside and clamp over the stock tow hook, got it?

heres the link of mine, its explained how i did the bolt on mine cause i dont like the normal design
https://www.hondacivicforum.com/foru...highlight=hook

i never posted dimensions so here you go
big outside diameter is about 4.5 in
hole size is about 3.25 in
overall length is about 10 in
i used 1/2 in thick 6061 aluminum
and yes i used a 1/2 in bolts, 2 in your case (one inside the stock hook and one outside) and a little tip, i know your a machinist so drill the hole with 1/2 drill, bolts are usually .005 undersize so it will be a nice fit, just in case you didnt have a bolt your gonna use yet so you know the size

and its up to you to make a template or not but its really the only way to get it to conform to the shape of the bumper nicely, good luck and feel free to pm me questions if you got any
