Subject: [Healeys] Lift for Healeys

Folks,

I need to get a lift in order to get under the various vehicles I now 
have to maintain for myself and my mother (and bury the not-to-code and 
ridiculously dangerous grease pit my dad installed many years ago).  In 
watching all the various car shows, it seems the two-post variety is the 
most popular, but the drive-on four-post might be the most convenient 
(except when you need to remove the wheels, obviously, or raise one of 
the tractors).  So, I'm leaning toward the 2-post--any and all 
suggestions on brand (American-made preferred) and size accepted--but 
I'm concerned about supporting a Big Healey at four points on their 
famously flimsy chassis rails.  What are you all using?  Any issues 
lifting a Healey by the chassis (assuming it's not fully swiss-cheesed)?

Thanks,
Bob

Bob,

the 4 post lifts have an accessory Jacking Plate which slides between the 2 tracks you drive up on.  with the Jacking Plate, you can remove tires and easily work on brakes...two at a time.

I would recommend the 4 post lift because:

they are somewhat mobile
don't have to be secured to the floor
easy to drive on
come in 110V or 220V (my 3 are 110V)

I would order the extra long aluminum ramps for better Healey clearance...especially the left side....and the drip trays for parking other vehicles underneath and free from oil drips.

Just my 2 cents worth.
