im gonna have a look round site tommorow for some bendy steel , only thing i would do is fit some support to the middle/top bar to clamp round top of b-post otherwise it seems like strain on the hubs, as if your trying to pull the bottom of the wheel away from the car, if u know wat i mean, and if i really get going ,roll it onto a sheet of ply with 4` scaffold tubes underneath to roll the whole thing back in the garage,............anyway my alarm clock should be going off soon

That one seems fairly sensible as it uses rims with no tyres therefore the side you don't lift is lower to the ground (ie - less lifting on the other side is required

)
It looks a bit 'lightweight' but I may be tempted to bid on it....

For anyone wanting a heavy duty one - Bull Motif were selling one for about £400. It is one of the proffessionally made jobbies with a lot more to it than this one on e-bay.

Hi SR!,

the EKMM club owns a rollover jig- wish you'd mentioned it at Mondays meeting! I can dig keiths phone number out, if you like, he should know who currently has it.

If only my garage was wide enough to roll my car over, its much nicer welding flat or vertical than upside down underneath the sparks!

cheers

John

than upside down underneath the sparks!

the sparks I can just about live with - it's when it drips a blob of steel on you (which then burns through your clothes and into your skin) that I have been know to get a bit 'unhappy'

Trouble is my leg has the same sort of appearance at the moment... Where can I find asbestos trousers and overalls?

Yeah and you get those lovely scars on your forearms that BRAND you as a welder........ or perhaps junkie!

I have yet to find a pair of my socks that don't have holes in the sides......

All good fun......
