Quick question on tie down.....thanks
I'm going to betrailering my C6 Z06 to VIR this next weekend. I have a new 18ft Econo trailer that has D-rings in the front and back. Steve (ATNB) and others have been very helpful and gave me a link for some t-shaped hooks for my car. Brian brought up a good question.....can you use these hooks on an aluminum frame car?

Absolutely and positively YES. The slots in the frame have been designed to tie the car down in the transporter truck. Use them with confidence. I have been trailering my 06 Z06 for a year now with no problems (and don't expect to encounter any).

I cross the fronts as well, and use fixed length steel cables. They fit under the air dam more easily than a ratchet tie-down and guarantee that the car is in the same place everytime. I got these at Home Depot along with the hooks. The "T" hooks I got at awdirect.com.

Thanks again guys. I plan on crossing the fronts and rears and also got the parts at AWDirect.....good prices.
