Considered making something up or even buying one but then thought im gonna use it maybe once or twice so maybe someone has one sitting in the corner of there garage...

steve

 

I believe Cornelius has one laying around at ESB HQ

 

sorry dude, have been trying everywhere.

 

will leave it for now then. if not will hire one from HSS or the like...

 

do you want a stand or hoist?

 

sorry to hijack, but does anyone know how much the engine stands are, the one that you can spin to do a rebuild with?

Also wher eto get them from?

 

Hoist... for removing old engine and replacing the new one which arrives 2moro... not even had the car a week yet....

 

like this???

eBay.co.uk: NEW 1500lb Engine Stand 'U' Type Base (item 300076426127 end time 06-Feb-07 21:17:00 GMT)

 

when do you need hoist and for how long?

 

weekend only hopefully.... famous last words....

 

i will ask tomorrow for you

 

bidding

 

Its no problem sara i can hire one for a week for £44...

Think ESB did enough lending the trailer....

At this rate i will be down there doing some work also...

 

what already??? Do you use ebay like that ALL the time??

Last minute throw your highest in and hopefully you get it....

 

I will take a gamble with it, now i know what to look for if i dont win , then will lok else where.

Fancy buiding my own block up

 

There are loads on there mate....

eBay.co.uk - engine stand, engine stand Other Garage Equipment Tools items at low prices

 

looks like i should win, i was expecting £100+ for one of these.

Just need a base block now

 

spally will have one out soon.....

 

too small

 

saying that though, might be worth a thought as i wanted a knackerd one to plat with first

 

What about this :-

2 TON ENGINE CRANE, 1000 LB REPAIR STAND, LOAD LEVELLER all for £150 (Buy it now).

eBay.co.uk: 2 TON ENGINE CRANE, 1000 LB REPAIR STAND, LOAD LEVELLER (item 290079740954 end time 09-Feb-07 10:35:45 GMT)

Buy it & then ESC hire it to get your outlay back.

If the going rate is £44 a week you only need 4 hirings & your into profit.

did think about buying one TBH but then its storing it.... what with 2 sets of wheels, two exhaust systems, and an engine soon....

 

saying that..... cookie wants the engine stand. spally will need a crane soon...

 

If you get stuck ive got one here (Barnet nr jct 24 m25) you can use

 

not a problem to ask and you know where we are
