Default xB2 Tow Hook Thread Specifications?

Anyone have an idea what the thread specifications are for the front tow-hook mounts inside the front bumper?

I've been trying to get my hands on a set of CORRECT tow-hook offset license plate mounts but have been getting the wrong applications (despite the suppliers sites saying it's for xB2's).

Just wondering if maybe there was a difference in thread specs for different year xB2's (different production runs or production places??)

From My measurements:
OD = 19.3mm
pitch = 2.0mm

Can anyone confirm?

ebay towhook(top) vs oem (bottom)

ebay one was undersized and thread pitch was too big :-/


ptuning (left) vs oem (right)

ptuning was oversized :-/




Thanks!

will the one made for the tC1 fit the xB2? my buddy has one that he is planning on selling me as soon as he replaces his font clip.

We just made our 1st batch of license plate relocators for the xB2. You can see our units made for the tC1 here: https://www.scionlife.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=203789

PTuning sent over a corrected bolt and I am now rocking the offset license plate bracket! Thanks Mike!

I will be shipping the other one this week!

Thanks again! Excellent Customer service!
