here are some additional notes for the extension project.
Notes
a. Main attachment bolts are 7/16 x 1ÔÇØ
b. Newly drilled holes in the lift table. These also match holes drilled in the bottom support drilled about 3/4ÔÇØ in from the end of the angle iron.
C. This is the original stop that came with the lift. I used it to establish the overall width of the extension.
D. These supports were cut from 1/8ÔÇØ x 3ÔÇØ flat stock. Welding is not necessary. A 1/4ÔÇØ bolt in end of each piece will work just fine. Most anything will work because youÔÇÖre just trying to keep the pieces from moving around.
E. I hammered the leading edge of the angle iron over so that it wouldnÔÇÖt damage the tire if i missed as i roll the wheel onto the extension. (not really necessary)
f. The bottom support is a piece of 1ÔÇØ x 1ÔÇØ x 1/8ÔÇØ angle iron cut to fit between the support rails on the bottom side of the lift. Drill holes to match the width of the extension. See note b
I've has my HF lift for almost three years and it's paid for itself several times over. Now, when I ask someone to come over and help me with my bike, they know in advance that they wn't be laying on the concrete or crawling on their knees.
The lift also makes bike cleaning much less of a chore!
Done. Works like a champ.
You did a fine job, it looks great. I won't do that in my shop since I like to roll the bike away when I'm doing a multiday job. With it on the stand, I can roll the stand with the bike on it into a corner or where I need it. But if you have the room, it's a great idea.
My buddy has a drain in his garage floor which is nice when he washes cars or the floor with a hose. I'm thinking the ultimate is a sunken lift with drain in the pit!
