Hikerbob,
You've given me an idea for an az. stop using one of those spring loaded plungger door stops. Would have to use some grippy tape on the ground board tracing the pattern travelled by the plungger.
To transport my 10" dob I've attached push bolts to secure both axis. The photo shows the bolt used to fix the alt bearing. It's seen towards the bottom centre of the scope.
The strap idea sounds good. Trying to figure out a bolt configuration that would provide variable pressure too.
