Congrats on the lift.

I love mine. Not sure how good the assembly directions for your lift are, but mine sucked.

Check this thread out. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1906810

May make the install a bit easier.

I also ended up with a Chinese 4 post. The instructions were worse than terrible. I had helped a friend install one so I had a pretty good idea how they went together. After the assembly was done, it does work great. I have noticed one lift company using two failed lifts as scare tactics in their ad. The failures appear to be caused by the cable ends failing, as opposed to the lift failing structually. I just wonder how many off shore lifts have actually failed. I was concerned that there was only one Chinese threaded nut to hold the cable to the post cap. I now have two Chinese nuts in tandem on the post cap. I feel much better. FOR THE PRICE, that's about the only negative comment I have on my lift, other than the instructions.

Hi John -

I will be in Vegas starting the 18th thru the 24th.

I will be shooting darts at the international tournament at the Riviera, but I will only shoot Sat and Sun.

I also will have a rental car for the week.

If you seriously need some help, I could probably work out an afternoon I could give ya while I am in town.

PM me if you want and I will give you my cell phone number.

best regards -
