Correct
That was where the idea came from. Mine had an upright backboard with various instruments fitted and clamps on the bench to hold the various alternators, motors or whatever. Loads of sets of connectors. The backboard was two 8x4 sheets of bakelite therefore 16 foot wide and the top was 4 foot up from the bench. To reach the "BIG RED SWITCH" you had to climb on the bench but nothing happened until you had climbed down. I did build a four foot cube box once with a movement sensor underneath. It was labelled "Do Not Touch". Used to leave it lying around in Police Headquarter Control Rooms. Touching did nothing but move it it started squawking like mad. Raised a few laughs, but in those days I was able to keep a straight face.

If you extended it MJ you could use it as tractor splitter rails

Great idea! How long had you been constructing this thing?

That's partly where I got the idea from - my neighbour has a tractor workshop I also saw something similar albeit rather more shiny in a program about assembling the Bugatti Veyron
It took a couple of days, on and off. |

very nice.
With a little modification to the engine end so it locates the front subframe, hoops underneath for a pump truck angled slightly, this would be ideal for removing and installing engine and box too. could probably do it single handed in a few hours with practice. Dave

I have a separate trolley for removing everything on the subframe. Once its out I pick it all up with the engine crane and put the subframe on axle stands while I take the starter motor off to get to the TC bolts. Once that's off I lift the whole lot off the subframe and drop it on this frame to split it.
I did think about making it do the whole job, but it uses the gearbox's own mounts and purpose-made mounts for the engine so they both need to come off the subframe for it to work. Plus, the subframe sits right under the engine's centre of gravity so supporting it properly with the subframe still attached would be pretty tricky. It usually takes me 4-5 hours to get the whole lot out and another hour to get it off the subframe and leveled up on the separating frame, assuming the car is cooperative! Here's a bunch of pics from the owner of the car I have in at the moment: http://www.corradov8.com/pics/s8/d2_engine_removal.mp4 Last edited by MikkiJayne; 23rd July 2017 at 08:50 PM. |
