Did my conversion this afternoon in under an hour and it works like a champ.



Now all I need is the T-handle. Anybody got one of these;



they want to trade for an inused oil drain pan adaptor?

I got the motivation when I read about your conversion.
Nice garage. Does rolling that jack around mess up the floor at all?

Thanks for the heads up Furry. That handle looks like a nice add on. (And to a previous poster, I have no doubt that it takes 78 pumps to get it up to Stage 4!)

No, the jack doesn't mess up the floor just rolling it around. In fact the epoxy coating makes it real easy to move the jack around with a bike on it....

However, if I use the two screw down stabilizers in the back......

The plastic cups wore off them form use on bare concrete.... they started to dig into the epoxy once, now I put a rubber pad under them if I need them...
