We're unsure how much the rod will rotate in the cylinder, but the weight of the tow hook should keep both hooks in the same direction. |
If you do have rotation, a piece of flat bar between the two hooks mounted to the pre-drilled holes in the hooks would keep them oriented in the same direction. This bar could be plastic or fiberglass; it doesn't have to bear a significant load.
