You probably already picked this up, but since no-one really answered you, here's my list of 'Ways to transport a radio with missing chassis hardware':
1. Take the chassis out. Works if a) all the hardware's missing and/or b) you brought tools with you, although sometimes there are snags (chassis hardwired to speaker, or bent hardware can't be removed or tightened).
2. Transport upright. Probably best for all radios anyway, but difficult with consoles unless you have a full-size van and furniture straps and blankets.
3. Temporarily use clamps to hold the chassis in the radio for transport. I always take a couple quick-clamps and deep-C clamps with me to look at a radio!
Those are the ways I've come up with so far.
