I'm thinking about getting this lift from Harbor Freight and wanted to know if the adjustments for the jacking pads fit 914s and 911s well? I think I saw some people had this lift on here a while back but can't find the posts when I search. Also if you have experience with this lift did you like it?

Too old to risk injury over a couple of hundred bucks or so. Plus, I'd have to assemble an army of local 914ners' to help with the heavy lifting and I'm fairly sure the delivery would happen mid day during the work week.

Yes, I agree sometimes it's better to pay. I paid to have our piano moved. Not worth the risk of being laid up b/c of a thrown out back. For my lift, my helpers flaked out once they saw how big the the 4 post lift pieces were. They really aren't car guys and were just too nervous trying to move such big things around. |
