Just keep the front wheels on the dolly and you'll be fine. The handbrake for those years operates on the front wheels, so that's not an issue. You may want to pull off the rear brake pads to reduce friction (and heat build-up) on the moving wheels. Not a big deal, but will really help reduce the rolling resistance (and heat). -chris In article <8ra83j$lvc$1nopsam1.deja.com>, whamelnopsamtway.com wrote: > I recently purchased 3 non-running Saabs, (2 1980 900 Turbo's and a > late 70's (1978 I believe) 99 EMS) and I am looking at having to tow > these three cars on a tow dolly for a distance of over 100 miles. > There will be highway driving involved as well.
