Breda,

I can only speak to the BT7 but the concepts should be similar.  My driving
schedule will take me through rain this summer so I have restored an old set
for a rainy day. First place them in a stowage bag.  One of the Healey
ladies made one from three black terry cloth towels sewn together.  A
replica from Moss or the usual suspects would be the more pricey but
original option.  The most obvious danger for damage is the spare hub so
perhaps place a pad atop that (I use vintage coveralls :-).  I also have a
soft sided tool bag that always occupies the area right of the spare.  This
makes the "shelf" height equal.  My problem is when I carry the side
curtains I have precious little space for anything else.  I only carry them
when rain is forecast so they mostly stay in the garage.  Perhaps you may
come up with a clever solution like a simple bracket of sorts.

Alternatively consider a lovely brunette (a redhead in your case) in a
support vehicle carrying loads of spares, your side curtains and ale.

Note:  these are more attractive than functional and are more practical in
theory than practice.  Oh this goes for the side curtains as well (grin).

Hope this helps.  Happy Friday.

Cheers,

Tracy

Perhaps I should have phrased my original question a bit more accurately,

I will try again,

 

What is the best position / method of stowing the sidescreens in the boot of
a BN4, to avoid them moving / rattling etc, and also to avoid damaging them.

Thanks.

Connor
