Default The best mod I've done.

I'm about to start fitting the engine and box but only have a fixed hoist on the roof. This means I will have to lift the engine and slide the chassis under. Bit of a pain then I remembered I had these in the shed. Couple of hours later.

I nicked them off a trolley they were throwing out at work. Iirc they are rated at over 100kg each.

Another reason for doing it was so I can always have space for the bike.
