Thanks guys.

terry we strap the car in the same way as the twin roller set up but with straps off the front as well. the car is much more stable than on the twin rollers as it doesnt try and climb onto the braked roller.

cheers Troy

does the car sit on top of the roller then?

Yep the wheels sit on top of the roller and the car is strapped to hold it in position. This recreates more accurately the contact patch that the tyre has with the road increasing grip and reducing power lost and heat build up due to the tyre carcass deforming in two places as the tyre rotates

Troy surely you will struggle with big powered cars trying to get it to hold and not wheel spin,as ive had my cars on many dyno,s over the years and alot struggle with high powered 2 wheel drive vehicles
