    Trailering a Mark IV

    Hello all you in Roadster land.
    I need to haul my gocart to the muffler shop. Where do I put the rear straps?
    I have 2015 IRS. I thought the lower control arms are the only place.
    With 15" wheels and Levy special brake package does not seem to be any space between spokes.

    Thank you in advance for all replies.

    The reason for the muffler shop visit is I am doing rear exit exhaust and I don't weld that good.

    I use axle straps around the rear IRS lower control arm tube. Cross them over to the opposite tie downs so the straps form an "X." They slide over right next to the chassis attachment bushing area. Very solid. Cross the front ones over the same way. Have towed mine a bunch that way.

    Mr Edwardb
    Thank you for the reply. I kinda hoped you would reply since I know you have the same suspension
    and have a trailer you use.
