    1962 Trailer tie down points

    Getting ready for the trip to St. Charles. What are the best attachment points for the trailer tie down straps on a 62 ?

    Thanks for your help

    John, please check the archives as there's been many discussions in the past about the best points. On C1's I've alway used the lower a frames and rear axle and criss cross the straps to prevent side-to-side movement. The archives info will tell about the holes in the frames and j hooks. See ya at St.Charles, Gary....

      John, Like Gary says the A arms are a good spot in the front.
      I have had great success by placing the rear straps over the spring ahead of the axle. Just be careful that the parking brake cable is not captured by the strap. Always cross your straps to prevent your car from moving sideways. Always check your tie downs in the first couple of miles then at 20 miles. Should be good for the rest of the trip.

        Hi John
        I would recommend you check your straps at every stop.
        It only takes a few minutes but can save much heartache.
        Take this from someone that had a strap brake
        See you at the National
