These seems like a crazy bargain to me, will be ideal while restoring my tin top.

Excellent spot - just what I am needing - set ordered.

I bought these last week and they are spot on, work well.

Agreed, great spot! Set Ordered!

Don't really have a use, but that's a fair reduction.

I want some 'display ramps' at that sort of price!


These have been re-listed for about the last two months, but the seller still wants 200quid for a pair collected.

time to get the welder out then - they shouldn't be that hard to make


same would be true for the dollies - but the cost of the wheels alone can be more than the pre-made ones
mind you if its just for sevens or other light weight cars then you'll probably get away with the small 50kg rated casters which seem to be a fair bit cheaper (4 casters = 200kg per dolly or ~800kg total)

I really want to put a pair under the rear wheels of a fwd and take it for a few laps of the carpark

You say that, but there's a fair bit of angle iron in there, you could use less of you make it so it would only take a Severn but theres for the 20quids odd worth,

Bought a set myself a couple of months ago - they are brilliant

the trick is to keep your eyes open for suitable scrap that costs you nothing or any leftover tube from building the chassis
