Pinz on a Trailer

What are the recommended tie-down points to secure a Pinz onto a trailer for transport? I'm getting ready to transport my Pinz to Wisconsin and want to get some advice before the day of departure arrives. I've transported other framed vehicles before but, but considering the unique under carriage arrangement on the Pinz I wanted thought it best to get some expert opinions.

Wouldnt recommend the straps around the axles like they show in the first photo. You will damage the straps and potentially damage the brake lines.

I use hooks on the front support "triangles" and cross. I use the rear hitch as my back end strapping point. I also add a "safety line" to the rear, in the form of an additional strap to the rear eyelets. I do not torque the eyelets as close as i do the hitch. (probably doesnt do anything, but makes me feel better)

I ended up having Mike Pop ship mine and he knows how to tie it down but here is my thread asking about shipping/trailering
