Thinking about Ramps?

Here's what the 75/ZTs need to clear the front overhang.

This Ad's nothing to do with me btw. I've already built some on the same principle. These are much better/safer than using planks of wood to start it up a standard ramp. Looks like he's making 'em to order.

Very useful I would be interested in those if I hadn't bought my mega ramp

You didn't use a gate then?

These ramps look interesting. However I purcahsed a set from a company this year called Holden that were wider, longer and shallower than the normal ramps for doing stuff on my Fiat Coupe. The coop was still too low

but I've just had the ZT up on them for an oil change and they were fine. I think they were approx £100 incl p&p.
Psychologically I'd rather have the car on ramps than axle stands..........

Nope I bought a 240v 4 post ramp off ebay, didn't you see the pics in the "project" thread

I currently have the gearbox out of a Tourer for a clutch and DMF change.
