Re: Loading yak on ute
I understand the questioning of excess pressure extending the scupper tube legs, but the legs used to have a relatively small diameter compared to the scupper hole and were steel, so there would be very localised pressure (top and bottom). the use of conduit that neatly fits actually spreads any pressure, Well thats what it seems like,lol. but I will give it a bit more thought.

Here's my mate Tribey loading and unloading his Revo 13 onto his 4x4 duel cab. He has extended the legs of the scupper cart and glued a piece of his old HR Holden formed to the shape of the rear keel of the yak. He does it easy with a home made "T" loader which he made out of scrap metal. Enjoy

Re: Loading yak on ute
Saw a guy once who had extended posts to the point it was well over a meter or more off the ground wheeling it along. Can only imagine the leverage pressure exerted on scuppers if a wheel jammed on a kerb/rock etc.
