Hello Sean

me and my mates will be ordering one very shortly, I will be drafting some construction drawing for future reference if these will be any good to you?

tottally agree miller, but the one im getting is a universal adjustable one so can fit a large number of cars, I do trchnical drawings so I just though it wouldnt hurt to have them for reference if anyone wanted them or needed to know one up

use drum brakes and a handbrake mechanism for the roller imo. fully adjustable and lockable at any angle. Worked on mine and it's perfect

exactly, the materials needed and a bit of time, grinding disks, electricity, plasters for cut fingers, will be even Ł100 MAX by the time you buy good drill bits and a splash of paint

Raj, its mainly more for the height when spinning the car over and getting the 2 points centred between front and rear, if that makes sense

Cheers for the input lads, appreciate it

@ Dingla - Wasnt calling you big headed mate, was just trying to take adbantage on your skills old pal No problem, you have you hands full at the moment I know

@ Sean - it should be within the next 2 months we get the jig as I myself am waiting to get my new garage sorted so I can crack on with my car, probably a bit too long for you but I will have some drawings done as soon as I get it for yourself or anyone else who is interested
