Tie down points for trailering a 968 on flat car trailer
#1

May be taking my 968 on a flat (metal deck) trailer soon. Wondering what tie down points that are safe for travel. In the past I have criss-crossed at the wheels (and yes I used shop towels to keep the tie downs from rubbing the wheels). But are there any other safe combinations? Have a standard suspension set up, not welded in tie-down hooks.



Thanks in advance.

there are some really nice hooks for the rear that KLA sells - i am still working on the ones for the front - i have a prototype, but frankly haven't tested it yet - it does require the lower brace though

I'll do some photo shrinkage and post then post pictures I took of how I tied my 968 into our trailer two weeks ago.



OK, here they are. Although you can't really see it, note that on the front I went around the entire A-arm, not through the opening.



I should also mention that the rear uses tiedown eyes that mount on the lower shock mounting bolt. These are available from RS Barn and make the process quite easy.

I usually use the "through the wheel" method...Works for me.

I was advised against the "through the wheel" method because of the potential for affecting alignment. I considered the "over the wheel" method, but what you see is what I ended up with.
