Hello Richard,
Here is an example that belongs to a friend.
I don't know exactly what year it is.
- Non-adjustable
- He doesn't have the reinforcement.
- We can see the hole and the weld.
I'm not sure I understand the angle of view of your photos.
On your photos of the inner fender I do not see the "washer": red arrow on my first photo.
Your fender seems to have the reinforcement: how is this possible on an NOS part? Would the reinforcement have been welded at the factory?
Here is the photo of the 300133 (1964) posted by Bob on this thread:

@Bob: do you think the hole and the weld could be hidden behind the reinforcement?

Philippe,
It appears to me that the rosette weld is about 1/3 of the leading side down from the horizontal flat . 300 133 appears to not have the weld - 331 maybe.
As a note 300149 (a December 1964 car) did not have any dealer welded on cap supports or rosette weld. That car had 407,000 miles when it moved along to a new owner. No shimmy's or shakes in the steering and it had been WELL used. Aluminum, original, light weight steering wheel had a leather wrap for 30 years. Stiffer torsion bars, and uprated anti-roll bars. Street and track used.

Hello,
The PET shows only one version of the tow hook: 901 501 530 20 / 90150153020
Do you know if previous versions have existed: .00 or .10?
Do you think 901 501 530 20 is correct for my car?
Thank you,
Philippe

”What would PORSCHE do”
67 911 de Luxe, 356 B silver metallic / brown interior, ( buck skin really ) 67 PORSCHE [ built ] 912, Crystal blue, black interior, 72 T, Silver metallic/black interior, appearance group,factory AC.
The present number for the tow hook is 901-501-530-20-GRV and available from most sources.
The 4 main difference areas between the 1964 and later tow hooks are:
the side view - note the later has right angle bends while the early has a definite deep "Z" bend
The Rod attachment indents on the later are more parallel - early has more "V".
Front bend, later is rounder verses the early more "V" shape.
Note the other difference is the tipped out at he sides that mate to the stamped half round shapes on the lower gas tank support cross panel.
Hope this helps:
Using others photos (Thanks Allen).
