I would avoid doing this, you end up with the whole weight of your rig standing on the head/scrubber which is hung on just two bolts (which go into plastic) Better IMO to stand it on the CL case or foot (Narked@90 make a cracker if you need extra height)

it depends on the style of boot that is used.The one i have (dont know what make it is) still gives clearence so that the unit is still standing on the cl case.However your quite right in saying that the Narked@90 stand sorts out that problem, and is a nice bit of kit.

Many thanks for posting this.

I just unpacked my KISS and shoved two plastic wedges under the scrubber to support it in transit

Or alternatively use upright tanks and the weight of the unit is held by the tank bottoms, not the scrubber can....

[I get my coat...]

The stand isn't my cup of tea at all (sorry John).

I have considered de-inverting the tanks. It would be good to see some photos or maybe an article on the pro/cons and what bits you need to do it neatly.

On a similar note, my wing hangs below the CL case so it tends to sit on the wing. Does everyone have this problem ?

Any other had this problem?

Yes, that's pretty standard with many wings on the CK.

Check Cedric Verdier's website. I believe he has written an article on deinverting tanks.
