North and Mid probably converge at King's Lynn......coming in on A17, A47.........
Not sure about the South route....probably the a11
Personally I think my route would be Chesterfield to Newark to King's Lynn to Norwich.......roughly speaking....

I know the sizes for the cases but I'm not sure a floppy sided case works..... we could get the bags made in the correct size I spoke to one company who could do them at about £400 for a full set of 4 in vinyl....... the...

Re: Door beam compatibility
could you not make an end plate with slotted holes?
if the slot were to cover the same hole but for the 2 locations.........and B1 being constant
then the rigidity of the fixings should still work due to the opposing angles of the slotted holes.....
just a thought
