:D :cheers:

I'll try to take some pics and I'll write up some details this weekend and send them to you.

While you are waiting, go to http://www.northernequipment.com and look up the air jack you will need

It Is an 8 ton, air/hydraulic jack, the lift is 19 1/2 ". It is and looks like the hydraulic jacks used on engine hoists.

Should cost around $ 189

I'll be backto you shortly

Is the email address here on the Forum profile a good one?

I decided to check out Northern myself, I may want to buy a spare jack just to have it around, though I have been using present on for almost two years and haven't had a problem

Northern part # is 144310

Did you already have a lift in the ground? If not, look at the Kwiklift. It's in all the Vette mags and I bought one and I love it. It's only $1200. with all the bells and whistles. Just a thought for you.

I think he already has a Kwiklift and is interested in modifying his set up to use air operated jack and eliminate the floor jack.

If you would like pics and a description of one way to do it, e mail me

:steering: [I love that Lil Guy!]

PS: Anyone else desiring to think about it, e mail me buydavette@aol.com
