Default Tie-down attach points?

Need a quick answer -- trying to tie my S down to my new trailer, which was originally set up for another S. I have the straps the previous owner used, but can't find the attach points on my car. I assume I'm looking for some oval holes in the frame for the "dogs" to hook into. Is this correct?

Hoping to leave early tomorrow AM, so need a quick answer. Can't reach the previous owner. Thanks in advance.

Thanks. I assumed they'd be on the main frame -- was looking too far under. Appreciate your help.

There will likely be rubber plugs in the holes if you haven't used them before. Just pull them out. I never put mine back in.

U going to the track?

I'll definitely be taking it to the track. Yesterday was an autocross at the Marina Airport for a shake-down cruise. Currently scheduled to do Laguna Seca in Feb. Have my eye out for other opportunities. I've been going out with the Golden Gate Lotus Club (nice folks, mellow events), but I'd like to get into some of the Speed Ventures events. Hope to meet you one of these days, Rylan.

Lockheed-Martin Sports Car Club. We do a monthly auto-X on company parking lots in Sunnyvale, but went to Marina for a special event.

Best to use the T-hooks the car was designed for. Here is a selection of various hooks available: http://www.awdirect.com/awdirect/catalog.c...nkon=subsection
