Is it feasible to move a bare 90 chassis on top of a 90 using a brownchurch style roof rack or am I just being daft ?

Feasible or sensible ?
A lot of weight and overhang there, so in a nutshell I'd say no.

You can hire a trailer for thirty quid or so so why go to all the bother/risk ?

Not the best idea... too heavy , top heavy. unstable.......
But if it was a rolling chassis, when it DID flip over at least you could keep rolling...................

Thanks for the replies, Looks like the opinion is unanimous, renting a trailer won’t work as im never going back to where I started and the trailer rental people wouldn’t like that will just look at shipping options instead

I'm heading over to Ireland and was playing with the idea of going via Liverpool to pop in and see family dump some xmas pressies then on the boat to Dublin then heading south to cork and back via Rosslare. I was thinking of making a detour from Dublin and getting a chassis from the new galv chassis firm in Armagh and dumping it in Cork to collect on my next trip in a van (I want to go in the 90 this time as its winter and there isn't a real road to the house) Probably a bit daft but I have had stranger ideas before

I had James Martin rebuild my gearbox, transport box and steering box. Sent them over on a pallet, i think for e50 each way. Return trip had a winch bumper strapped to it aswell.

They deliver throughout the UK, so would have thought delivery to the Republic wouldn't be too expensive?
Shame they don't do the Disco chassis - yet!
