James,
Last year I installed a set of hold down rings on all four corners of my
Healey. They came from Bill Bolton of Bolt-on Healeys in Creswell OR
(tri-carb@aol.com).
On the front they are similar to what the Canadian tow eyes. On the rear
they are his special recipe. They use existing bolts and holes so no
cutting or welding is required.
I believe these to be exactly what you are looking for. In their absence I
would recommend a strap around the rear axle on each side on the rear and a
strap around the frame cross-member on each side up front.
Others may chime in here as my car (knock on wood) has only been on a
trailer once since I owned it and that was when it was delivered. But if I
do have to call AAA for a flatbed or trailer it, I have the four corner tow
eyes ready.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!

Gentlemen. I have used my trailer to haul different British cars but when I
put the Healey on yesterday I could not find easy attachment points on the
frame for the cross hold down straps. I am thinking of bolting some
stainless steel plates to the frame. If any of you have hauled your Healeys
I would like to know how you solved this problem before I do anything that
might harm the frame. Thanks, JL
