>Stands w/the front wheels chocked. Most of the ramps sold at your FLAPS are >just too flimsy to risk performing major repairs under... IMHO. I am not keen on stands... FLAPS stands look like junk. plus, with a small base, they cannot be very stable. I have home-made ramps which are probably grossly overengineered (solid, HEAVY). Only problem with ramps is that you can't TOW a car onto them... they will just slide away unless you can fix them down. They will resist driving-on too, if you want undriven wheels up. -- Andrew Grebneff Dunedin New Zealand Fossil preparator <andrew.grebneff@stonebow.otago.ac.nz> Seashell, Macintosh, VW/Toyota van nut |
