Yes, that is the idea, but I want to make one that follows the interior hood outline as close as practical, can be easily lifted to put in luggage and leaves room for my golf clubs. I may only be able to gain a few mm of vertical space, but my trusty Porsche golf bag (whole other story) barely fits in my '75....

Intent is to make the latitudinal brace heim joints serve as the pivot for hinging the "X" portion.

A little nutty and anal I know, but what the heck, this is a retirement hobby.
