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.

I love the slippery slope of automotive excess...if only it did not take up so much time and resources (money, cut fingers, gashed knuckle....)
The basic human condition is one of stupidity....

[quote name='Anchorman' post='64502' date='Dec 21 2008, 06:16 PM']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.
