I was at a car show with a trailered Dyno. Three runs (I think) for $25. A '69 Camaro couldn't do it because they couldn't figure out how to tie it down without damaging something. It had a built rear end with lines attached that interfered
I wanted to take the opportunity but wasn't comfortable since I don't know how I'd want to strap a DeLorean onto a dyno.
Can anyone describe how to tie down a DeLorean onto a dyno in good detail. Pictures would be great, too.

How about using a hub-dyno that is much safer? We have a common lug pattern.

I dyno'd mine at local club events in 06 and 07. Both times we used the frame tie-downs and the DeLorean was the fastest car on the dyno by far.
Attached are a few video frames which may not be useful but they're the best I have

Here is a snip of how I had the rear tied down when I had #1283 dyno'd.

What are the straps actually connected to on the car?
When my car was last dyno'd, we strapped to the lower links in the back and the tow hooks in the front. It worked very well.

Yes, that's what Eddie and I did too.
