MaxJax, Best Spacing for 914? Options

[gryphon68]

Hi all,

Looking for some info I didn't see discussed in the other threads that mentioned MaxJax.

For those that have the MaxJax installed, what spacing are you using for your 914. Spacing is typically measured from outside to outside of the floor plates.

Also are the arms extended or retracted with the 914?

What other vehicles have you had on the hoist without or without moving a column from the 914 position? Bonus points for other Porsche products . . . (Boxster?)

I've used my MaxJax with my teener, my 996 and 911SC, BMWs (E30, E46, E34 and E39), my Miata, a Lincoln MKX and even my F-150. The only time I ever moved the columns was when I bought a new house, when I re-spaced them a little farther apart. Spacing isn't real critical since the arms are easily adjustable. You also don't necessarily use the same arm adjustment every time since it's tough to get the car exactly centered between the columns. It's dark and raining out right now but I can go out to the workshop and measure the spacing for you tomorrow.
