Hi all, might seem like a stupid question, but could I get info on how you guys tie the car down on the trailer? I don't have the item that is sold by Radical that sticks onto the wheel nuts. Cheers

I use three, one on each front wheel and one on a rear wheel. Probably overkill but with one on either front wheel the steering doesn't move and stays dead straight.

Hi Duncan, thanks for your reply, how do you manage to get your fingers between the body and tyre? I had a set of these, but sold them as I couldn't the straps through. Maybe I never tried hard enough

If you are struggling for space I'd suggest fitting them with the bodywork off or loose.

Yep, I saw them a couple of days ago, but unfortunately they are the centrelock ones.

I set up a strap that went along the base of the trailer, up over the wheel and onto the rear chocks that the rear wheels were against if that makes any sense?
