Gentlemen. I have used my trailer to haul different British cars but when I put the Healey on yesterday I could not find easy attachment points on the frame for the cross hold down straps. I am think

I have used a cradle strap for the front wheels and single strap around each rear leaf springs attached to opposite corners. That allows the suspension to be secure while the chassis and body float

Bill Bolton (tricarb@aol.com) sells front and rear tie downs. The front ones attach to the main frame rails (on the inside) using the threaded tubes that the front bumper supports attach to. The rea

I believe it is safest and less stressful to the car if the wheels are tied down leaving the chassis free to exercise the suspension. My approach is to loop webbing straps round each of the knock-of

Last year I installed a set of hold down rings on all four corners of my Healey. They came from Bill Bolton of Bolt-on Healeys in Creswell OR (tri-carb@aol.com). On the front they are similar to wha

You make a really good point. As I think about it the car bounces along on the suspension as it rides on the trailer. The very first car I ever restored was a Baja VW and I put it in the back of a U

It's best to tie a car down by an axle or A-arm rather than the frame so as not to put the springs &/or shocks in a constant state of compression. There are short straps with D-rings on either end a
