Branners Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 If Pete is busy then you may want to try the guy that posted earlier in the thread as they have them ready off the shelf. We dont know the guy who posted earlier in the thread, but if gives people an option if they cannot wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraDan24 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I've contacted the ebal seller, i'll post up a new thread once i get a response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraDan24 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Okay i've contacted the ebayer and he has agreed to match Peter's price of £130 delivered if we find 5 people. I'll PM Branners now to ask for permission to start a new group buy and also sort out a method of payment. Thanks Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will do fella, i imagine it will be okay but pretty close as its the lowest bumper i can think of. Whats the ground cleareance at the front? You could lay down a couple bits of wood infront which would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraDan24 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Yeah thats what ill end up doing anyway lol, These will come in handy! Very ! Servicing will be alot quicker now i dont have to spend ages jacking the car up, not too mention safer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I'm not fussed by those ebay ones, they don't look quite as up to the job. I'm going to ask my local blackmiths (yes, they do still exist) if they can make me a set and see what the cost would be. Failing that, I'll make my own out of solid wood - a smaller set I made years ago has been invaluable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 The group buy is okay, but morally I do have to raise my concerns for safety. You are putting a car that weighs 3400lbs on to a set of ramps that have not been safety tested. You will be working under the car while a large proportion of the weight of it rests on those ramps. One failed weld or weakened strutt could see the ramp fold and once one goes the other folds or falls with it. I apologise to Peter for posting this, but I cannot let any thread carry on without raising this as I dont want to see any members squashed flat as a pancake.

bambisdad Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I had a pair of these from Peter. They are great and have already earned their keep. The Supra fits the ramp without problems with full body kit and 255 tyres. You wont buy better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not disregarding what you've said as I agree, but I've had a good look at the ramps I got from Peter and also got my Dad to have a good look over them (he knows quite a bit about welding) and they seem to be great quality. Peter, if they collapse and I get crushed, you can donate the money I paid you for them to my funeral fund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
