Just had a 2 post lift put into my garage. It was delivered six weeks ago but after it was installed the arms were too high to go under the Cerb.

After much head scratching and trying various heath robinson type ramps etc. Finally decided the only way to get it right for madeline was to dig the whole lift down 2inches into a reinforced concrete floor!

This has taken me most evenings and weekends for six weeks! With six diamond cutter blades at £70 each! and a lot of kango work. Finally a bed of concrete levelling.

Today I had the lift lowered into the 50mm channel and bolted down. All ready to try the Cerb on it tonight.

Do I win the prize for most pampered Cerb?

I reckon so.

You also look set to become the most visited PHer from those wanting to have a look/tinker/do serious work to their P&Js on a ramp.

Not until the Cerbera has been up on the ramp!

Gonna try it out this weekend. Still wiring it up. only takes 8amps, surprised me, as I'd wired some cooker wire, but looks too bulky so am changing it.

New radiator first. Am looking around at the improved radiator market.

Second rubber bush holding rear exhaust on, broken disappeared. Apparently a 'mini cotton reel' so will replace that.

De-Cat next stop.
