I have 4 OEM tow hooks and 2 tow hooks from Skylane and they did not fit:
My z06
Friends z06
another z06 at the dealer.

All were early builds.

So the dealers are hunting a newer built z06 for me to come test and compare.

But if anyone can help with pictures or measuring the threads and post their vin/build date that would be awesome.

If i find it has changed, I am going to push GM to replace my receivers (crash bars) as they only make 1 tow hook.
I also have bought 2 hooks(front and rear) from Skylane they both fit the rear of my Z06 but not the front. Vin# 3036 built 1/28/15

Mine is right at 9 1/4 inches. If you need one I'll sell it for 75.00 shipped. If I remember correctly I paid 119.

Sounds good. I'm guessing you probably can. I'm not using mine anymore if you need a photo to go by let me know.
