Hi All,
I am contemplating the completion of my Six in the next month or so and bringing it home on a flat bed trailer my cousin owns. It's a 400 miles trip from Jim's place to mine. The truck we will use is a Ram diesel 3500 that hauls his back hoe and other cars and trucks. We just brought Datsun 280Z down from Napa yesterday on the trailer and it tows nicely. Looks terrible as it needs paint, but has new tires, wheel bearings, etc. Anyway, I want to secure my Six to the flat steel bed of the trailer with the nylon straps I see AAA use when they tow a car on their rollback trucks. The nylon strap goes over the tire and then then ratchet that strap tight to the steel deck. So nothing is touched except the strap on the tire. It does not go through the rim at all. I definitely do not want to damage the finish on the wheels Weidman did for me. Does anyone know what those straps are called and where I can find them? I went to Amazon and found tons of straps but do not know which to buy. Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions. Michael (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

I have always strapped through the wheels not unlike Oscar. One strap for each wheel & I have never had an issue. I usually wrap a towel around each strap where it comes through the wheel. Never left a mark on my wheel

Never left a mark on my wheel (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Through the wheels or the suspension with towels. Easy |
