<div>Subject: [TR] Scissor Lift </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div dir="ltr">Hello,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm considering a mid- or low-rise scissor lift to make access to interiors, brakes and suspension easier.  I find I avoid interior and dash work because its so low to the ground I struggle to get and stay that low for any length of time.  I already have
 a two-post lift so access to the underside isn't an issue, but access to the interior is difficult with the arms and post in the way of the door opening.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My concern is whether the popular brands will fit under Triumphs and similar cars.  Does anyone have any experience with these on our cars?  Specifically I'm concerned about the narrower width of our cars and that we can't lift on "pinch" welds like most
 modern cars.  Some come with arms and posts to select lift points, others come with rubber blocks to allow specific points to be used for lifting.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here's the type of thing I'm looking at:</div>
