    I have a Clarke clmtype that works really well. The release foot pedal is known for being really sensitive but works well once you get used to it. I've taken the engine out and back again a couple of times and it makes it really quite a double single person job.

    That's what we are after, the proppa kit :thumbsup:

    Even a few cable ties at the ready to hold it steady.

    I decided to buy one of the about £95 eBay jacks - as my gearbox is probably coming back next week, and the last time I went engine wrestling, it seems that losing weight over lock down means I cant get the engine on the existing jack platform by leaning back and pulling on it .. very annoying, it just sits there when another 10kg would have worked.
     
  9. Nice option but dont know if I would squeeze between post and walls.

    The best accessory to that 4 poster is the parallel lines painted on the ground under it helping you line stuff up..

    Gnarly tarmac isnt quite the same..
