Hi,

I have just seen an interesting workshop tool on Frost Catalogue. It is called Body Roller. I would like to know if someone of you has used it for working on his Minor. Is it really so easy and safe to use??

Thanks,
Luca

Something like this?

The jacks are there because the rolling frame bolts on the hubs and half the rear axle is disconnected at the time!

to do with old age and zimmer frames

Oh! I wondered what it was with you. Now I'm beginning to understand... ;-)

hello all,

didn't Morris's put the minor on a spit during construction, or is that my imagination?

The poor man's roller is an old mattress, but not so good for welding!!

No I think you are right Alec hence the hole behind the battery tray.

as far as I know, that was just for paint preparation of the shell, not really for assembly.

Thanks to you all for your reply!
Some of your messages were a little too humorous for my poor english but understood that a body roller is something I have to think about very carefully. Plus, I was thinking to it even to work on my Rover P4 underbody but, at this point, do not think it would be the best solution for both cars. So, thanks a lot to all of you. As usual this forum is very useful!!
