I read  somewhere (here on VV?) that BMW sells tiedown fittings that will 
fit the  Corvair slots...




Well - I bought plastic pop-in pads for a BMW (not from BMW) and they snap  
right into my C6 Corvette. Those pads are what I jack up the car on - indeed  
they are the only safe place to jack up the car. I'm pretty sure they would fit 
 the front of the late model vair - (actually on the side sub-frames), but 
not  the rear because the slots are recessed into that tri-angular area near the 
 trailing arm front mount. The tie downs slide up into the slots and turn  
sideways to lock, but the pads I am using have snaps at the sides of the slots  
to pop straight up into place. It takes a straight edge screwdriver to snap 
them  out. - Seth
