Discussion

Did you work out how the limit switches attach ? . I'm sat here now scratching my head with the same two brackets in front of me 
Correct or not it works perfectly. SGR's installers wouldn't fit it due to the tight head space around the car on top (as seen in piccie - there's about 3 inches at top before dropping down slightly for lift to go onto locks. So, I discussed with them but this is how I installed mine - obviously I had to drill the mounting holes. I think I looked at the brackets you have an went "hmmm" too.
Thanks both! You've bothered to do what SJR could not. If I've still got the bits (bound to be somewhere, though God knows where!) I'll have to sort them out. Presumably you drilled through the post to fit the bracket?
For anyone else, whilst nothing has gone wrong since I bought my ramp I have to say that, due to SJR's lack of giving a s
t both during and after my order, if I had to do it again I'd give my money to Automotech.

7 plus years on, not a 4 poster, a 2 poster, my Automotec lift hasn’t missed a beat. Used by me and a ton of work by my mechanic son.
A big thumbs up from me.
Alternative use
I do miss your regular Tvr repair updates A big thumbs up from me.
Alternative use
Best tool you can have in many ways.
Not everyone is lucky enough to own a big swathe of Surrey to house the bleeder sadly
At my age with my back there is no way I could manage a body off alone without a 2 Poster. For me that made the project feasible.
ETA and that ramp enabled a Dif change in one working day on my TVR thanks to your experience and my time in the past rushing about in pit lanes.

Yes, drilled holes for the brackets etcFor anyone else, whilst nothing has gone wrong since I bought my ramp I have to say that, due to SJR's lack of giving a s

So apparently it's a lower limit switch, which ive worked out and mounted. The buzzer goes off just as it comes down. The holes are all there. Kinda useless, aside to warn you with a buzzer as it almost hits the floor. I too will need to fab something up to turn it into an upper limit switch.

I was told the lower level warning was a mandatory requirement in a commercial garage, I took mine off obviously!
Interesting. Mine isn't exactly quick to go down but the newest commercial ones (like recently installed at my local MOT station) make it look like lightning. The commercial ones go down very very slowly under new regs!Gassing Station | General TVR Stuff & Gossip | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
