With barely 8', you will have issues to deal with.
With the 4-post style, you will need to raise the car at least 3 inches higher than minimum before the cam lock will be cleared. You will probably need to weld one of the stops at exactly your correct height. Also, you will lose 4 inches due to the platform itself. More crazy ideas: 1) take out ceiling in just the area of the roof, if you can park perpendicular to joists. You can gain 6" and park with the roof removed. My roof has more than normal joist spacing; depending on dimensions you might need to remove one (please brace as appropriate). 2) You seem to have a lot of area to work with, maybe just get a few sets of wheel rollers and just push the cars around. 3) Roll the 914's onto the passenger doors and store vertically (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
