Well done Kev. The scissor jack is a good idea. Just doing this simple bin fitting job had me in and out about 8 times. Ron

I have wondered a few times, how uncomfortable it would be, to be hung by the ankles (bungee jumping style)
For us big guys, (me) these things are not always easy to work on. The Americuns would have welded the four studs to the floor.( the Germans would have used 24 6mm bolts, with tapings into the floor)
At my house, the child labour units have all grown up and left.
Judging by any "awkwidity" rating, carriers are definately of British origin.

I have used blobs of grease then carefully wound the bolt through... Then realised there was knowone to holding tight so had to wedge a spanner or child in place until nipped up.... After that I spent an our under the carrier with a mig putting very small spot welds on the nuts underside.... Much more user friendly now... Why they didn't captivate the nuts is beyond me perhaps it was "jobs for the boys".......... "Sir we need more workers to get Hesse carriers completed on time"

My son Danny (who I love dearly) has never shown an inkling of interest in anything remotely old or oily. I thought I would try and nurture my grandson Cameron in the hope that it might have missed a generation.......But he kept wanting to rush indoors and wash his hands.....Oh well I guess it's not to be.
