Need a Bolt that will thread into Tow Hook Hole

The thread for the tow hook looks unusual, does anyone know where I can find a bolt that would have the same thread as the tow hook

If you have your car already take the one you have and head to the hardware store and match it up if they can...

When I had my rear bumper off to weld on my trailer hitch, it looked to me like I could weld a slightly smaller nut on to the smart bung. Say a 10 mm so you could bolt things on to the rear and still use the smart towhook.
