Thankyou for the info
Glad to hear it fits even in the back of the Audi TT!
I wouldn't be too fond of dismantling the base, I'm lazy and it's too much effort
Although it's tempting the fact can do it tool less...
btw, whats the boot space capacity of the Audi TT in litres? Cheers..

I can fit a 16" Lightbridge in the back of my MkII Audi TT with the back 'toddler' seats down. In otherwords, I haven't given up any usable passenger space I actually have plenty of spare room for EP and Accesories cases. You should have no problem with a focus hatchback. This is with the base fully assembled.
If you want to be able to take a front seat passenger and some camping gear as well as all the scope gear, I think its possible too by modding the scope base so it can be dismantled. I investigated this until I decided against as I permanently mounted so much stuff to the base pieces making flat pack unfeasible.
20 M6 threaded inserts and 10 M6 Knobbed bolts will do it. Basically a knobbed bolt wherever there is a base screw and 2 threaded inserts. One in the opposing base piece for the bolt to grab onto and one insert in the mating base piece to hold the bolt captive when the base is apart.
Quick and tool-less with no parts to loose. Inserts and bolts are literally cents at Bunnings I would imagine.
You'll be able to transport the OTA and UTA in the boot with the base pieces flatpacked. No need to fold the back seats forwards.
Heres some pics to give you an idea. |
