i make a loop [or double back] and stick the loop thru the wheel, then hook the loop to the end hook and pull the strap tight. hard to explain but easy to see.
this won't abriad the strap when done right.

Either use the eyebolts that screw onto the lugs or straps that have a cradle that go around the tire or LAST choice, attach to the body. Rusty 914s have rusty front hooks.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

You WANT the normal suspension to flex and move and the tires tight as well as the straps. Putting a stap over an edge is an invitation to rubbing, especially if any one has a less than optimum tightness.....

You don't want anything that can rub on your straps moving. They also make cheap looped straps that have eyebolts on each end. They can make a loop and then you attach the more expensive tie downs to that....

One strap through each wheel. Unfortunately I had one strap too tight and the little movement that the car did make, shred the strap halh way through. Now I need a new strap. Next trip will have a pad behind the strap.

I think they were 20 foot strapswhen I bought them, but I cut 'em.

this looks like what i may do.. seems to be the safest
each tire to it's own corner of the trailer. handbrake set as well

rethinking the 20'ers now lol.. may have to make a harbor freight run (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

thanks for the pics

Here's my $50.00 princess. You can't see the straps but I have 2 hooks in the back that go to the motor mount bosses and 2 ratchet straps in the front that go to the control arms.
Believe it or not there's no rust in the longs, none in the hell hole, none in the floors, just a little in the rear trunk.

This is what happen when some bonehead strips the car to bare metal and doesn't use epoxy primer.

guess ill add another dumb question here..

is it safe to roll the car with the cv axles still connected?
i have them "suspended" so that they wont rub on the inside of the trailing arm and can still spin, i just wanna make sure before i move it so i dont break anything

hopefully, HOPEFULLY the car will be on the trailer by tomorrow evening and will be in the body shop by the weekend!!

I wouldn't tow with the axles flopping around....but it's OK to push it around or roll it onto a trailer.

im tryin to see the best way to strap it down


I really like the tire nets. I had those on a friends trailer. I pulled my 914 back from SF using those on the front. Fairly inexpensive if I recall.

Probably cool...but CVs are an ignored service REQUIRED part. Best to pull, inspect. regrease and re-seal....BOTH inners and outers. Good time to do it.....

dont roll the car, or set any wieght on the rear without the inner hub in place...the male portion of the CV joint.

If you can, remove the whole axle, take the male end off and put that back in the hub...then you can service the CV joints while you wait.

As far as towing on a trailer, always cross your straps to prevent side to side jumping of the car...straight strapping will not survive and the car will hop...seen it on show cars, in closed trailers...

This is simple logic....cross the straps.
