Hi all and thanks for the helpful hints and especially for pointing out
the importance of the alignment part and the part on insurance. I have
to admit, I didn't think about that. It would make sense to contact a
few insurers to get an idea about the difference in premiums.
The kit came with Hi-Top Mod-64 (non-B) mod. However, I'm not sold yet
on incorporating it. I would add complexity during the build. I am not
tiny but also no basketball player (1.82m or 5ft 11.7in).
I will try to answer all the question in a single message:

Thanks Gilles, I like your drawing.

I bought the kit together with a cradle on wheels:

throughout the built.

I think they open 90 to the side. I will have a chance to test it
tomorrow when I meet to discuss the financial bit.
