Thanks Jim,
I can see a lot of thought went in to that operation.
Some years ago, we shipped a Land Rover station wagon out to Aus for a motor rally we were entered in. It had a full roof rack as well. The container was an insulated or refrigerated type, used to bring perishables over to the UK, they return to Aus empty, so we had a "free" ride through the sponsor. Only problem was a lower ceiling height, we found some 13 inch car wheels with low profile tyres, just for transporting, still it was too high, so ended up with ratchet straps around the chassis and axles to pull springs up. I worked, and no damage caused.
Will see you in Normandy
