Gary:
The FAA Advisory Circular on Aircraft Inspection and Repair (EA-AC 43.13-1A&2, my copy is old, this may have been since amended)has a section on the installation of towhooks. Chap 8 Glider aand Banner Tow-Hitch Installations (page 44-8 AC 43.13-2 chg 5 dtd 11/9/67) has a picture of a Schweizer hook on a 180/185 stinger. I am not aware of an STC (may well exist however) but with this drawing in the FAA's official publication, it make make a 337 easier ...well maybe possible. If I were doing the installation, I would flip the hook upside down per Jim Burch's 337 to insure better releases in tension of the glider gets high on tow.
