As promised, a few photos of the sill stand tubes.
Due to the design of the roll cage the tubes have simply been bolted through on the inside, in order to avoid cutting and welding of the roll cage feet.

I will of course be cutting the bolts to the correct length!
I like the idea of the sill stands, must make life easier and the car more stable when its up off the ground

now, something like a motorbike hoist but on a smaller scale would be really cool.... with a scissor action & a hydraulic jack or even a big lever.
those bike brakes are going to look awesome, discs are a steal at that price imo. you decided on which 13" wheels yet?
Sill stands are fecking well handy, just need a Bilstien quick lift to finish it off now Colin?
Thanks very much for pics, most helpful
I'm going to have to buy one. None of my normal trolley jacks will lift the car high enough to get the sill stands in place.Quote:

Any links welcome for places that sell them please!
A few options here Colin

But I think even the £1000 jack is out of your price range !!! :)

Yes, I'd seen that one already Dave, it does look nice, but how the hell they can justify that sort of price tag I don't know.Quote:

colin, are you meant to use the pipes for jacking or for actual stands?? i'm trying to get my head round how they work exactly.
if you made something out of metal tube with an L shape and put a couple of trolley wheels on the bottom corner of the L, considering the max weight per side is about 330kg, with an 8:1 mechanical advantage, you could easily lever the car up.
