Getting a handle on it

[Si600]

Apart from difficulties with the actual fitting, is there any reason I can't put a handle on the side of my GK MB212 cab? It would make getting it out of the boot a lot easier!

Handle as opposed to a strap? Must admit, I always like handles..just so much more substantial
and I know in the era of a lightweight cab, a strap might be ok, but there are too many threads
about straps not being upto it.

Not sure I would buy a larger cab without a handle, altho my Bergs have handles and they do ok
but then they haven't had a heap load of work and go in the car very easily.

You might want to demount one of the drivers and have a look at the innards of the cab before committing to surgery if you are considering fitting a recessed handle that will necessitate cutting into the cab carcass - altering the structural integrity of the cab might have unintended consequences which will be pretty much irreversible.

There is a completely non-invasive solution you could try, if you loop a suitable strap round the cab ([url="http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/25989100/"]something like this [/url]or [url="http://www.maypole.ltd.uk/MP6072-LUGGAGE-STRAP%3CBR%3E25MM-x-2.5M%3CBR%3E250Kg-GS-PK2_47774-15791"]this[/url]) you can provide yourself with one or more additional lifting/dragging points to help make manouvreing the cab in and out of the boot easier.

I added a strap to the bottom of my combo, at the back, for precisely that purpose. Didn't affect the sound at all, and makes lifting in and out of the boot a lot easier. Putting in a full handle would have been a lot more work.

I meant strap, get another of the OEM ones that is on the top and put it on one of the long sides.
