- Harry,

- This sounds brilliant - I'll keep searching now - if you do get furter
- details please drop me an email. Another poster suggested tying the
- board to the roll bar and front bumper which I have considered but
- am keeping as a last ditch method because you have to have the roof
- down which is a pain for long/fast journeys and you need to dry the
- gear off on the way home if you don't want salt crystals growing on the
- seats. I'm also a bit chary of what would happen on the freeway if
- the front tie-down came adrift...
-
- Thanks for the help everyone - Paul
