    You are on the right track (pun intended), but you need something more substantial than what you are showing, as any emergency stops will rip the one or two bolts out holding your contraption to the trailer.

    Do a google search on "E TRACK" and make sure when you buy it, that you bolt it through the trailer to the manufacturers specifications.


    Over the tire straps will not be an issue, and with that set up you will not need to worry about crossing straps in the rear.

    Grade 8 1/2" bolts X8 ea are pretty stout, just might keep things in place in an emergency stop. But I'm picturing the back of the car flying up off the trailer, it wouldn't be good.

    Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.
