Default Open trailer- tie down question?

Hi there and good day to all. I purchased an open trailer over the week end and was wondering where are the tie down points on the GT3? Thanks and take care. Mike

Take a look at this thread. Use the Autometrics hooks for the rear, and the holes in the front jack points for the front.

I used hooks like those, but ones that are "bent" only about 30 degrees. I use a pair in the front as well, bolted to the front suspension mounting point (a triangle of three bolts). It works great, and is easy to reach.

Bara skojjade - hoppas allt är bra därhemma! Fick tyvärr lämna min "BYO 688" i Sverige. Saknaden är stor.

For trailer transport I prefer to tie down the car by its wheels which allows the car to ride on its suspension in the normal manner.

I heard about that week at the 'Ring - must have been awesome. Please post more pics and tell us more about the differences between your old RS '92 and the new RS...
