Si600 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 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.

SubsonicSimpleton Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 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.

Magic Matt Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 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.

Si600 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 I meant strap, get another of the OEM ones that is on the top and put it on one of the long sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
