    Automobile Lifts

    David, I'm gonna pass on this one - There are a bunch of cables that run back and forth in the runways and I don't know if the BendPak design requires a firm mount of the runway or if a loose pin would be OK. You could be setting yourself up for a problem. I'd suggest a phone call to BendPak...

    Automobile Lifts

    Automobile Lifts

    I am unfamiliar with Quatro. They do have the ALI membership which is good, but beyond that. I can't say. As far as capacity, you likely could get by with an 8,000 lb lift but most are 9,000 or 12,000. The 8 is just a downgrade to get a lower price point, since most sales are driven by the...

    Automobile lifts

    Some members have asked about auto lifts, which style, which brand, what's best. Thought I would share some thoughts. My career was working for the largest lift manufacturer in the world. I began in engineering for Weaver Lift, the innovator of the automobile lift. The first lifts were like an...

    I've seen it too, but can't figure out why it is doing it. Something has changed in either the Forum Software or the Server software. Will figure it out sooner or later

    FFR Roadster Mk5 prototype

    Tony, you're correct. Most replicas, including Hurricane, use a square/rectangular tube. Factory Five was the exception. The round tube requires less reinforcement for a ladder frame style. Most rectangular tube styles were as strong or stronger but required a lot more bracing. Factory Five is...
