Hey Groove! How's your car running?

Was working on my setup and thought you might be interested -- how many threads do you get on the 4 inner stud/nut mount points for the tow bar? On my 2013 the Gamma spacer is just over 6mm, and the thickness of the tow bar mating surface is also just over 6mm. There are just under 15mm of threads on the studs, so I literally can only grab about 2 threads with those nuts. Those nuts are aluminum I think - and if I pull on the tow bar without the additional 4 bolts installed I can literally strip all of them. The bolts themselves are not good enough... I had my car towed by them when I got tuned (since I could not fit the nuts on) and one of those mount points bent a little.

Anyhow, I think I've got a solution for it that is kind of a frankenstein of hardware but I should be able to grab all the threads on the stud. LMK if you are interested and I'll take some notes and pictures of it when I set it up... Maybe the earlier models had more threads available? I know you did say before that you didn't have problems getting yours back in position just using the provided spacers.
