Just bought this new aluminum trailer to haul my toys around. The setup for this trailer is 4 D ring points set 16' apart in the length and 4'8' in the width. How to strap down a 914 for safe hauling. Thanks all.

I have been towing 914s (and other Porsche cars) for well over 20 yrs. I always hook on the A-arm up front and then through the rear tires in back. If you are worried about marking up your rear rims then side a hand towel under the strap, it won't come out once the strap is tighten down.

I also have a small strap the goes around the trailing arm then hook a steel chain on it and hook up to a rear D -ring as a safetything "just in case I hit the brakes hard and the car moves forward (that has NEVER happen , but you never know).

Nice trailer btw. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
