[TR] Folding engine crane clearance

[Joe Laurito]

Stan;

There are a lot of tools that are very handy to have when you need them but
just cannot be cost-justified when you use them once every few years. Also,
many of them are so bulky that you wonder what you are going to do with them
after your project is finished. 

Our Triumph club has a tool shed filled with these kinds of items (engine
hoist and leveler are part of the inventory). Any member of the club is free
to use anything in the shed and then return it when they are finished. The
tools are signed out and signed in, just like a library. You may want to
check with your local club to see if they already have what you need. If
not, you may want to start the process by donating your hoist to the club
when you are done with it. That's how we started ours.

Hmmmm.....do I remember a thread a few months ago where someone complained
that there is no good reason to belong to a local car club? Different
strokes for different folks, I guess.

I'd recommend that you go with a 2 ton lift.  I've seen them on sale for
about the same price and they are significantly more stout.  I know HF sells
both and they go on sale all of the time.  Pep boys normally has them on
sale too.  In this case I think more is better.
