James,
I have used a cradle strap for the front wheels and single strap around each
rear leaf springs attached to opposite corners. That allows the suspension
to be secure while the chassis and body float above as is on a drive. I
have heard (but without proof) that the chassis can be tweaked while towing
and that doesn't sound good.
Good luck!

Gentlemen. I have used my trailer to haul different British cars but when I
put the Healey on yesterday I could not find easy attachment points on the
frame for the cross hold down straps. I am thinking of bolting some
stainless steel plates to the frame. If any of you have hauled your Healeys
I would like to know how you solved this problem before I do anything that
might harm the frame. Thanks, JL
