I don't know the answer, but there are a lot pretty pictures here, which includes advice from Crewkerne.

I've just trailered mine to and from the factory a few days ago and asked them the same thing.

Lower wishbones inboard as far as possible at the front.

Same area you are tied at the rear, but ideally not around the welded joints as you have it. Under rear member, over the tube that runs front to back at that point, and back out to the rear. I hope that makes sense.

If anyone can clarify further, that would be great.

Please check https://www.ariel.club/forum/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=17171. Henry and others have some good tips on the correct way to handle the Atom on a trailer.

Hi

This is how the factory secured my car when they delivered it.

Hope this helps ?

Cheers

I guess theirs more than one way and depends on the trailer and lashing points .. I like the over tyre method but my trailer won’t allow ... I’ve taken on board all your advice and amended my method.
Thanks all for your advice.

Looks to be fine, I tie down the same way in front and use the frame for the rear as well because it reduces the angle of the tie down.
