Cutting a 4 post lift !
Discussion
In reality I mean trimming ...
The car is almost as wide as the gap and I keep catching it - not worth refurbing wheels until I sell the car !
You can see the issue here.
Could take 1 - 2 inches off the top left hand edge- it could even be cut on the diagonal stop me catching the wheel / bodywork, without effecting the structural integrity of the lift ? Noting I do not want to trim so much off as to expose the pulley wheel.
I think I can - what do we think ?
Thanks

I presume that isn't just a flat panel, but a formed U-channel or similar?
I think you could trim it by a diagonal cut, as long as you replaced what was removed by a slanted fillet, welded in to the best standard.
If you aren't a skilled welder, then might be better to get one in, for this safety-critical situation.
