Trailer ratchet hooks
thefreak - 9/7/11 at 08:04 PM

So I've picked up a car transporter trailer now and I want to sort out some permanent easy to access hooks for the ratchet straps I've got.
The first use today I spent a good 30 minutes trying to position the hooks for the ratchets, so I want to sort something out that's a better option, but no idea what they'd be called to search for them
I've seen a few weld on rope hooks on ebay, but I'd prefer a hoop to hook the strap end onto properly.

Lashing rings... of course sorry, been a long day. Up and out by 9 to drive 3 hours there and back to pick the MX5 up after new s/s exhaust and racing clutch

I have chains for mine, they are set to the correct length for the rear, so just pull tight against these and the car is always in the ideal position.

Ebay £60 winch on the front to pull it on with.

Aye, but I've just bought 4 shiney clean new ratchet straps
Will be investing in a winch though, just in case there's an unfortunate incident on track one day...
