All,
Looking to see if anyone makes a bolt on bracket for the frame to tie the car down when trailering??
I kind of recall a plate that bolted on to the shock plate with a hole that extended down to connect a strap to....
Any tips or pics would be greatly appreciated!!

Wally.

I make shock plates with built in tie downs. You can buy them from Mancini Racing if you want to go that way. I also make tie down brackets that go to the chassis if you want to tie the chassis down. For A body cars I make a bracket that goes to the old rear shackle mount since most race guys have moved the springs in.

You're my hero!!
That's exactly what I need!!
I just moved the springs in, so those will be perfect!!
Do you make anything for the front end, or know of anything?

Thanks so much!

For a drag car, if it has swaybar mounting flanges on the control arms, I use those. Otherwise I use straps.
But a bracket that uses the bumper-bracket mounts would be great.

I make brackets that fit under the bumper brackets. AR076 is the part number. I've made those for years. Mancini usually has them in stock.

AR076D. I have them in stock but they aren't on the website yet. I just started making them. Same price as the AR076.

Is there anywhere that sells all of your stuff? it is beyond frustrating to have to buy what I want from multiple vendors.

I just want to add that it is better to pull the chassis down so the cars suspension is NOT bouncing during transport.Let the trailers suspension do all the work! up

I welded gusset tubes from my wheelie bar brackets to the center section of the housing it makes a nice spot to wrap my D ring strap around also.
