Was just looking at getting a pair of car ramps to get teh Z up onto , but all looked steep and would hit front panel . What do people use or reccomend to get it up and keep it up to allow work under car (clutch).
Ramps come in several different lengths, the longer ones being more expensive (6ft ramps being about 3x the price of standard 4ft ones)! What I did is buy a standard (short) set, and use a couple of pieces of timber 4ftx2inchx6inch placed in front of the ramps to overcome the problem of clearance... ie. place the timber in front of the wheels and about a third of the way up the ramps...car goes onto the timber, then up the ramps.
What do people use or reccomend to get it up and keep it up You'll need a couple of blocks of wood to get clearance on most ramps. There's an article in Tech Section, see A-Z/Service.
Here's something I prepared earlier. 1.8m long, two piece (you can see the extension under the rear wheels). Once the car is up I can remove 1/2 for side access. I think people usually get standard ones fron S/Cheap etc and use timber as abit of a ramp to get onto them
My son made me custom timber ramps, more like 1500mm stairs really. They allow me to get my Zed far enough off the ground to get the trolly jack under. Caz..
Nixit and someone else from ttnet use: They use a garage jack to get them up onto the stands. Nixit had his on them for 2 weeks.
Hey Baron! I made a set of ramps exactly the same ase yours! Great minds think alike eh! In your picture im guessing u just jacked the car up to get the rear wheels onto the front sections of the ramp?
