xpackken Posted August 9, 2010 Report Posted August 9, 2010 Just looking for opinions on these , i was thinking of buying one for my mk1 capri as i need to get all the underceal off underneith and i want it nicely painted etc !! just how usefull are these things , do they have other uses during a resto ???
4DOOR-SHERWOOD Posted August 9, 2010 Report Posted August 9, 2010 They are awesome and in my opinion are the best thing for a bare shell resto! give rick at mk2mania a shout as he makes them!
YOUNGY Posted August 9, 2010 Report Posted August 9, 2010 best thing since sliced bread, currently using one on my wifes mk2 escort you can see and get to things you wouldn't normally be able to get to. got mine from tom28's dad handlingsolutions from e-bay. well pleased with it
jamie956 Posted August 9, 2010 Report Posted August 9, 2010 They are the muts nuts used my mates to build my dads cortina eatate, his will lift the complete car and turn it 360 it makes it so easy to do work on the underside. [/img]
xpackken Posted August 9, 2010 Author Report Posted August 9, 2010 does it make jobs with running gear and stuff easyer , also what can be left on the shell to turn it ie would it be ok with axel and struts on ?
jamie956 Posted August 9, 2010 Report Posted August 9, 2010 My mates will lift and turn a fully complete Mustang engine and all so no problem with any OSF on it, my dad sat on an old office chair with a heat gun and a scraper and striped off all the old under seal i pitty any one doing that job laying on there back, running brake pipes, fuel lines, welding all easy exhaust was a dodle as well.
jamie956 Posted August 9, 2010 Report Posted August 9, 2010 Item number: 330442847256, not the cheapest but so much better than the other cheaper that dont lift on ebay.
xpackken Posted August 9, 2010 Author Report Posted August 9, 2010 thanks for the linky mate , but i think thats abit out my budget for something thats an after thought or wont get used much , i will prob buy a cheapo one lol
xpackken Posted August 9, 2010 Author Report Posted August 9, 2010 maybe someone local will rent me one
tom28 Posted August 14, 2010 Report Posted August 14, 2010 you wont get much better mate, link - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ROLLOVER-SPIT-JIG ... arParts_SM Busy at the moment, give me old man a ring on 07828912986
Synergy Posted August 14, 2010 Report Posted August 14, 2010 I got one of these:- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/STAG-SPIT-MG-SPIT ... arParts_SM The self levelling and one man loading (once set up) is a great idea not sure if it will lift an unstripped shell though
