in the rear, be careful about wrapping the tie-down strap around the axle, 
since the rear brake lines pass along the axles and can easily be pinched. On my 
MGA, I hook the tie down straps over the leaf springs just in front of the 
spring pans and then hook them diagonally to the rear trailer hold downs.
