I'm planning on renting an engine hoist today to lift my 914 up onto the body stand I built this weekend.
I saw some posts referencing mounting onto the seat tilt adjust brackets? Are these the two vertical brackets that hold part of the "tooth gear setup" for that connects to the tilt adjuster handle / allows the seat base to move up and down? If so, assuming I will have to remove seat base frames and the gear teeth to access the holes in these brackets. I also thought about just using a tow strap wrapped around the middle of the car? Anybody have ideas / thoughts / pictures? |

Thanks for all the tips everyone.
I think I'm going to try to use a couple of tow straps, one wrapped under close to the front set of donuts and one wrapped under close to the back set. Meet in the middle and link to the hoist. I'll jack it up as far as I can off the ground first. Will see how the stand does. I will add cross-straps / ties with 2x4's if it seems unstable. |
