I've looked through the archives and don't find this:
I'll be transporting my MGB-GT in a box-van. I've got a source for swivel
floor-anchors that can take the angular pull with a 5/1 safety margin, but
I'm
wondering what I should use for tie-down points on the car itself. 4x4-ers
like chains over the axles, but of course we don't have a front axle, and my
car has the brake lines strapped tight to the front of the rear axle.
My inclination is to use two poly roundslings or wire-rope slings for the
rear
axle, crossing them so that they stay near the diff (away from the brake
lines) and also providing some restriction for side-to-side movement of the
car. These will be shackled to the anchor-points and the car moved forward to
take up the slack. Then I'm thinking snap-hook 2" ratchet straps to the
front-a-arms. Do I wrap an axle-strap around the whole a-arm?, just run a
chain through the a-arm somewhere?
Thanks
Douglas
'70 MGB-GT
