Does anyone know the size of the tow eye threads? Talking about the mostly useless one hidden behind the passenger tow hook rubber flaps. Investigating using it for a tie in point for an ORV flag. Looks like it is a Left Hand thread but I don't have a set of thread gauges to figure out the rest. Any help is appreciated!

(I know it would be easier to have a U-bolt or pipe clamp solution as shown in the forums but I'd like something that is hidden and easier to remove since the first mount I bought was pretty loose and required shims/4 screws to attach. And always fun to have a little project.
Concept is to have 2 parts, the screw in part past the rubber flaps and the exterior part bent down and around the hook on the outside. Then join them in the middle with one bolt so I can connect/disconnect there.)

Found this post/thread while searching for a different place to mount the front license plate. I don’t have my truck yet so flying blind.

I want to avoid the OEM version putting holes the the bumper and the other DIY mounts on tow hook don’t seem sturdy enough for splash back snow and slush.

If you get the threads figured out please post. Thanks and good luck!

Per MI Service the thread pattern for the hidden tow eye is:
M22x2.5 LH, M22x2.5 "LH" 61.5mm thread depth from front face

Now to start my hunt for something that fits in that space...

@SSteveEV did you ever find a mount for this? If so, did it interfere with any of the sensors? I recently got an R1S Dual Standard, so it doesn't come with the tow hooks, so I am looking for a license plate mount that uses the tow eye.

No, I was looking for a dune flag whip so I can't speak to the license plate locations but I think there are a couple other threads out there discussing good options. I used a clamp on mount after all anyways.
Good luck!
