I wish I had a two post lift for the Mav.
I was at KwikFit today, they were trying to sort my exhaust... and I was watching the equipment in their workshop.
If I was starting out again with tools, and equipment, I think I would consider a two post lift, to lift the Maverick ( and other cars) by the chassis, and have tons of room to work on wheels, brakes, waxoyl, exhaust etc, But I would need more headroom in my garage lol. I had a quick look on ebay and you can buy a 4 tonne lift for just over £1000 The two post look better than a normal 4 post lift, as you can lift the vehicle just a few inches and swap the wheels around in minutes. Just as long as the arms could reach the chassis and still be within it's lifting capacity. For domestic use, do they have to be inspected regularly, or do you use them until they break... ? Best regards, Rustic
