And is it for hire

[Luke]

sorry bout the photos but it's at work and no camera

i promise i'll put some up when i get it home next week

[Luke]

here you go - been a bit busy lately but just got this finished today


the red paint is jut to stop the exposed metal rusting, i'll give it a full coat later

and i'll get some more pics later when i try tipping a van

[Luke]

got the back one on



but slight probs with the front one - i didnt account for the nut that hold the wheel bearings in doh
so i'll have to burn out space for it shame really as i'd have tipped it tonight

[Gunslinger]

have to admit, i am watching this with a certain amount of curiosity to see what happens

if you notice in the pic i'm not using my van to try it out on

[Gunslinger]

yup, i did notice that....

hope the spring hangers are up to the job .... and just how do you intend to stop it rolling too fast and clouting the roof ?

you want acouple of bed mattresses we use to do this with our cars when we waxoiled them but there was 6 of us tho

what metal tubes did you use building site scaffolding poles? and a big heavy duty pipe bender?

yes and yes

here's another pic of how the hub adapter fits - you bolt it on first, then offer the jig up and bolt that on with the 4 M16 nuts

[Luke]

and this is as far as i got tonight



my forktrucks not powerfull enough to lift it i do have another incomplete project - a highlift jack that works around the tyre - it'd be ideal but unfinished at the moment

I notice you've folded the drivers wing mirror in, wise move me thinks

Looking good luke! I used an engine hoist fastened to the other front wheel hub to tip mine over if that helps..

cheers Al what do you think of the gap between the van and the jig does it look about right

[Luke]

The question is....how are you going to get it back again

Nice work mate is the scaff bar strong enough to stop it flexing against the body when its on its side?

Rover.
