Niels, Shaun, Petr,

Thanks for your comments and ideas. Very much appreciated!
We did indeed speak about the lifting eyes...I just wasn't sure they were beefy enough to take the weight of the 17pdr.

Yes, The 17pdr is a heavy gun , but very well balanced.infact the 6pdr is far heavier on the hitch than a 17pdr ( I have both )

That's interesting Shaun....so that would mean the Carrier would stay pretty level with the 17pdr hooked up(?)....or would it still climb with the nose, when the crew started actually pulling?
