Default Little lift "lovers"

For all of you Little Lift owners (Courtesy of "Little Lift" Frederik) who is the first to grind, buff and polish their little lift ? It's just meant to be. Any mods? Pictures? :cheers:

This is it, as delivered.
(well not exactly, as this is the C-Class one and all mailed tu US are the new E-Class ones. It´s slightly different but not visible in the pic. The foot is fixed, not like this one turnable. Main advantage is higher loads)

I know I missed out on the original GP because I snoozed, but is there anyway to get my hands on one of these?

I want one too, but don't want to pay retail to a MB dealer. BTW, I had one like this on a 71 Mercedes and it worked great. :smash: :yesnod:

My 2000 BMW has the same thing.

If you want one quicker, you might try a BMW dealership

I tried it, it works GREAT!

Send a Paypal for $50.00 ( http://www.paypal.com if you don't have an account) to ewald.vangaever@daimlerchrysler.com in Germany. Ewald has been increddible in the fact that he has been buying these in bulk and boxing them up for shipment to the U.S. . They go by parcel post so delivery seems to take from 3.5 to almost 7 weeks. I have bought five of them, at different times, and averaged around 4 weeks each. The PayPal form will ask you everything Ewald needs to ship to you. He will then E_Mail you aproximate ship date and sequence number.
I've been trying to answer some of the questions as Ewald has gone way beyond the call of duty on this!

P.S. don't show these to your Corvette friends as I have become a "sub-distributor" for these darn things!

Hey all
just ordered a fourth bunch of 30 lifts. Today # 81 and 82 left.
Never new what this business would lead to when I started it in may. But it´s great to get a lot of positive responses.
Also thanks to my "secretarys" Richard and Skyguy.
