I seem to remember someone else did the same using an abundance of bungee cords and they seemed to think it was sturdy enough to survive a short, gentle journey.

I wouldn't just rest it on though.

T'was me that used the bungie cords. Article below. I did 65mph on a 200 mile trip and they worked at treat!

The length of the cord I guess is determined by the elasticity.
You will need 2 bungie cords each side for extra safety (obviously only 1 shown here).

That looks safe enough for me

It's not much of a journey - Southampton to Fareham, which is about 15 miles, and mostly a 30 limit.

Just need the fitting kit now, which I'll likely get from hardtopguy for

To be honest I drove it around for a week like this until I got around to fitting the fitting kit.

Looks like a basis of a design for an ejector seat! I'll add it to my mods for consideration.

I still cant see why someone in the know could knock up a fitting kit similar to the oem one for a couple of quid. These are stupid money for two pieces shaped steel...
