bungy 2 Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Found these today and interested to compare with another option I've been looking at.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/mobile-lift-ramp-tilter-restoration-ramp-jig-car-roller_W0QQitemZ330507718495QQcategoryZ108783QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp4340.m263QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DDLSL%252BSIC%26its%3DI%26itu%3DUCI%252BIA%252BUA%252BFICS%252BUFI%252BDDSIC%26otn%3D8%26pmod%3D330504110356%252B330504110356%26po%3D%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D5696340560974645444#ht_2232wt_907Ground clearance to get them undeneath will be an issue but the car can be driven or reversed up onto small wheel ramps to allow the unit to go underneath. Not sure on the weight of a mk4 4motion though as these are limited to 1500kg. Link to post Share on other sites

bungy 2 Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Very clever!! Not sure how safe i'd feel underneath one tho They interested me because they lift over 50 cms and you could then support it from underneath. Should be able to do just about any access jobs using those and not too expensive. I paid nearly £100 for a jack. Link to post Share on other sites

bungy 2 Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 I would trust it as it is triangulated but you could always as a safety measure remove wheels and position underneather the hubs whilst working to ensure the car wouldn't drop all the way should it fail.

The Monk 50 Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 I'm guessing they work like a jack then?That is huge height. I do feel that a 206 weighs 50x less than a golf. Especially a mk4.Get it wrong though and that could be expensive.Mark, you'd be near the limit mate. Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 the middles of the sills arent reinforced like the jacking points, i for one wouldnt be using that on any car id ever own Link to post Share on other sites
The Monk 50 Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 the middles of the sills arent reinforced like the jacking points' date=' i for one wouldnt be using that on any car id ever own[/quote']I pretty much figured this too. Same decision. However, the difference is an extra piece of welded metal about 2mm thick. Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 the way mine were split open id say that reinforcement helps tremendously Link to post Share on other sites
