I admire the 'DIY' because I love to fabricate things myself instead of just buying them..
However.. being an engineer.. it kinda concerns me haha.

Having a hole creates massive stress concentrations by itself, but a JAGGED hole adds to the problem twofold.

I hope you used a good grade of steel.. if not, that jagged hole might cause you problems. Heck.. even if you did use a good grade of steel, it might still cause problems.

I'm not bashing..!

even though your an engineer and a whole lot smarter than i am... common sense plays into this role..

the small holes/bolts used to bolt it on are the more likely to give first followed by the bumper support then the jagged hole. yes it causes stress points but i dont see it being the reason it would fail... at least not on a cobalt

Go buy a decent dremel for like $50 or $60 and clean that hole out. Get rid of the red and paint it black. Why do you want a red tow hook? Just paint it black and it will look so much better.
