Hello all,

I'll be bringing home my 914 tomorrow. I have a trailer but have not loaded or tied down a 914 onto it before...only VW's and my Model A Ford.

This is a stock suspension car, i.e. no tiedown loops on the chassis. I will be using nylon tie down ratchet straps - I have 4 of them and use them on my other cars - the BIG ones.

Question: what points on the car should I use to tie the car down to the trailer? Suspension points, shock mounts, what....?

Any advice?

Thanks
Tom

Front, use the a-arms or run the strap through the wheel if you have alloys.
Rear, run the strap around the shock at the bottom, or loop through the wheels.
