14. The "what-if" factor always applies to trailering. Here, I used duct tape to close off the hook slots. If, for some reason, enough slack were to develop in a chain, you would want to be sure it will not uncouple. The tape, wire, or use of through-bolts and nuts on doubled-back chain will prevent chain from falling loose. My preference is a hook with a spring clasp, like the rear straps on this operation. View Related Article
