anyone turned car on its side using mattress?
i used to do it but a matress caught fire when i was welding the floor of a mk RS2000 and even though i had a fire extinguisher the fire took off due to the matress being dry :redfaced:, could of been a disaster but luckily i got away wi it , i feel you get dings/dents with tyres and i would only use a spit nowadays.cheers

I found one of these it's called a AUTOVIP 1400 car roller it's good for 1400kgstuds said
with the above methods I see they are bare shells, very little weight.
ramblin if you havn't stripped the car completely, cjautos (on ebay etc.. ) make a car roller
frame, bolts to the wheel hubs, costs afew hundred quid though
(golfs weigh about 830kg ) so it can turn car complete, & it doesn't lift the car just
rolls it, so if there is enough space to turn the car this is the tool
just remember to drain liquids & remove battery.
it is on ebay item number 30038649519 ends 19 JAN at 13:03 sorry don't know how
to link. :? will learn one day.

what they are using to bolt to the wood is the suspension mounts. don't forget n.a golfs have dampers behind the bumpers!!!
hence it looking like box section with a tube.

the cost of a spit is very little really
if you can weld then material will be about £100
if not a welder won't chage much for welding it together
mcsrew did a good roll over thing
i'm currently sorting the info out for mine so other's can build it but snow is delaying things
my car when it's on the side is aroung 100mm off the ground

the wooden one looks cracking. I can't weld so i think the wooden one may gee made. i would need to get some heavy steel brackets made though for attaching to the wood

bare shell. Just realised the wooden one will rip right through garage roof as the large support going vertical would be too high. This is annoying!!

i have used tyres in the past with no problems. just need a couple of people to roll it onto tyres if you stack them right then it will balance without putting all the weight onto the gutters

this wooden jig will fit in garage i reckon a sit doesn't have the large support like the other wooden jigs.
if making support brackets for the bumpr what guage steel would you use
