[F500] Tire Straps - From Who?

[Neale Osenburg]

yeah... you don't need the "webbed" straps you may see used on some heavier cars. Our cars only weigh about 650lbs.  A decent ratchet type strap from Home Depot will work just fine.

Chris,

This is how we tie our car down.

You can just cut some of the length out of the strap.

Good luck

Greg

Hi guys -

OK, I have Clint McMahans' autocross car, a battery, a gas can on order,
oil, mixing cup, chargers for both on-board and starter batteries,
jack-up stand.  I am buying a trailer tomorrow (Friday).  A Pace -
gorgeous trailer, one of the nicest I have seen (and I saw some beauties
in Peru this last weekend).  Polished stainless steel 3 feet up the
sides, beavertail, reduced height, and a ramp that makes nearly a flat
shot before you crank up the tongue, for just a bit more than a Home
Depot special.  On the lot!

So I figure that the EASIEST way to tow is to strap over the left rear
and front right tires.  I was at Great Northern today, and they had a
nice over-the-tire strap/net setup, with ratchet, but the darned thing
was six feet long.  Too big to fit over my tires, which I measure at 17"
diameter.
Isn't it?

I have searched the internet, to no avail.  I ordered the gas can and
several other parts from Pegasus, but they have no such straps.

Any ideas where I can get them?  I _want_ to tow to the next event,
which is next weekend, here in Atlanta.  I will be gone Sat and Sun,
parents' 50th.

I want to drape the straps, then have recessed D-rings installed as
appropriate.

Thanks!
