Weekend project ......

For all of us that install a lot of diffs.

Been meaning to make this for years & finally got the chance last week. Had my machinist (tool & die maker) neighbour turn me up the shaft that fits into the floor jack, but you could make it bolt onto the pad if your jack does not come apart like mine.

Material, 100mm X 8mm flat bar. 1 of 600mm, 3 of 150mm (2 have 50mm radius cut in one end) & 1 of 100mm (with a 40mm radius cut in one end.

If you are bolting to the jack pad plate, you will need some spacer material between the bottom of the pad plate & the flat bar.

That is a great idea! I lifted mine into the car on my own. Didn't do the body a whole lot of good.

Excellent piece of kit. :like: Us old fellas need all the help we can get and it sure beats the balancing act I have had to perform in the past.

I did a similar attachment for fitting the doors to the effie.

Nice. I made one up a while ago to do the toploader Mounts the same way on the trolly jack. To bloody heavy and awkward by myself. Easy as with it. Might have to make a diff one up now!!
