914 Trailering Tie Down Question, Where to tie it down? Options

[flat4tom]

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

I trailer mine to the track all the time. I use 15 foot ratcheting tie downs and criss-cross front and rear. Fronts through the A-arms right by the rear bushing, and rears around the bearing carrier portion of the trailing arm. Just make sure on the rears you fish the tie down between the bearing carrier and the brake caliper. You don't want to cinch down on the caliper.
