I have one of these Its a little more basic than the sold ones. Two hoops with a 2m ID And they sit on a large piece of C channel and roll on some boat trailer rollers. Weld some mounting tabs around the inside edge and you can make jigs to hold onto anything. Good for attaching to say suspension mounting points rather than rusted out bumper mounts. Im working on a foot brake ATM. Maybe just an additional braked caster wheel to run against the outside of the hoop. I'll probably be done in about 6 months if you want to borrow 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Great benefit of this type is you can just hang it against a wall. The double engine stand type take up quite a bit of room. You can also get some steel rims and weld some J shaped steel arms on them and just push the car in its side of you have the option To leave the suspension In Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 We were out in the Holden on Saturday, got about 5km away from home and heard a weird noise, sounded a bit like a speedo cable tick from inside the car. Stopped and had a look under the hood, then decided to drive home stat. Idles OK and just driveable but much more than light throttle results in misfiring. Any guesses on what's wrong, place bets now :0 Going to start investigating now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.H. Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 The thickest I have cut is 300mm, hardest part is blowing through for the start, I had to drill a couple of holes to start from for the internal holes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
