I hope you guys cam help me. A few years ago I purchased medal plates that bolted to the spring plates. These plates had holes that allowed me to easily attach tie downs.

I can't remember who I got them from. Does anyone here know what I'm talking about and who carries them?
Thanks in advance

I pretty sure we're talking about the same thing. If you have any, let's put our heads together so I can put them on my 356. It seems to spend a lot of time on the trailer.

That's exactly what I have on one of my cars and they work perfectly. I'll send a private message so we can complete the transaction.
Thanks

Hey Scott, do you still make these? Will they work with the Mac's tie downs? Will they work with disc brakes?

Does anybody have a solution for the front beam?

My Ghia is low and the hooks hit the lower front fender when I am using a 24" axle strap wrapped around the lower tube.
