About 25 yrs ago I gave up on store-bought tie-downs and thought outside the box. I ended using braide nylon line 5/8 inch dia 1/2 would work
I used 35 inches of straight line with a couple bowlune knots and a rurnbuckle to tighten the wole thing up. braided nylon has aprox 10% stretch and seems to work as well as any spring tie-down Same set up on my 87 BF, beach buggy and
my 2001 BF travel buggy
Good luck with what ever you choose
