Help Needed!

Does anybody in the Croydon/Ringwood/Bayswater etc area have..

 

Four car stands I can borrow/buy?

 

Preferably I am after the axle stands that have four feet (for my own peace of mind, ive never liked the straight ones that look unsafe). I need four of these in order to get my car jacked up to do the work to it for roadworthy.

 

Any help would be AMAZING!

 

Thanks guys and girls :yes:

alternatively, you could use a car battery, like Evan G :blinks:

nah, car battery is too solid......you gotta use cut rear springs!

They are on sale as supercheap - go buy some, good things to have around the place permanently.

 

That is the axle stands, not the springs :blinks:

Haha ahh, springs and batteries.. Ill save that one for alcohol fueled stupidity!

 

Umm, i'd say i'd need them for maybe a couple days?

or if you want to be a little bit more safe but still dodgy use bricks :D

DO NOT USE BRICKS. They collapse.

 

I don't wanna see you dead when I'm watching the news. If you gotta be dodgy, use tree stumps, you'll never crush them. Go to a firewood place and ask about red gum. Concrete and bricks are fragile. As a test, get a hammer and smash a brick; you'll have a million pieces. Try that on a red gum stump and you'll have a dint, maybe!

 

But as others have said, buy axle stands. I still use the set I bought when I was 18. They have paid themselves off LONG ago. It's a small investment for a lifetime of car rewards!

I'd buy some, buuuuuuuuuuut I'm really not that well equipped in the $$$ right now thanks to being unemployed and a uni student, sucks your cash faster than you'd think!

 

I'm simply after borrowing a set for a few days to install some parts before i either sell the car or come up with the rest of the money to get it on the road properly.
