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? |

Here's the car dolly I use for mine - almost 28 inches high. Just used blocks, jack stands and my ATV lift. It took two-three lifts on each end to get high enough to slide the dolly under the car.
I modified two of the jack stands to straddle the arms on the ATV lift giving me extended lift height. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-1191-1376176589.jpg) |
