    Default Centering clamp webbing on Front tires

    I don't know about you but my fat fingers have a lot of problems getting the ratcheting webbing centered on the front wheels when tying it down on the trailer. This was my solution. The plastic was from a protein container about 6" in diameter. I was in a hurry so hadn't sanded off the edges in the pixs. You could use almost anything to attach, I had some copper rivets, so I used them.

    Nice idea, you can use a deburring tool to make it look nicer.

    Bill nice idea..........I think you and I are the only Spyderlovers doing " THE TIRE TIE DOWN THING " as opposed to the Rims and or suspensions etc......PS, if you lower your TIRE pressure to about 10 lbs the strap is not going to move when you Rachet it tight......Mike , see you at Spyderfest

    I purchased these tie-downs at E-Trailer.com, they work great.
