I`m at it again!

I`m making a set of car-wheel 'stools' (of another person`s design; pic. as below)
I have the height dimension in mind (e.g high enough to enable transmission changes and exhaust work) but I wonder if someone may tell me the widest section-width of tyres commonly fitted to the Omega; so I can make them wide enough to fit other`s cars at meets or on loan etc.

245mm.....I think Debs.....Is that your 911....have you become a yuppie?...

[Lazydocker]

As O says... 245 is (I think) the largest standard size. Oh... And ignore the car geek, although I did notice the Porker badge on the wheels

As a small suggestion, It may be worth modifying the feet of these stools to make them better suited to tarmac/softer surfaces :-/

Oh nay...nay...nay!

My house doesn`t even have a 'porch'.

......I`m a 'Dimbo'

Excellent point L.D. ......would 16 off; 75mm. squares, cut from 5 mm. thick plate be o.k for the foot pads?

I have just had to correct my spelling......Yuppie ......not Yuppy....But then.... no red braces ....and a Porsche 911....for me in the eighties..

[Debs.]

Thanks for the measurement chaps; 245mm. it is, then.

Sounds fine to me....

Here is my latest project/repair......can you guess what it is though!

Super-height ramps?

Super-height ramps?

Not sure that I would bother restoring ramps....

I didn't realise it was a restoration, just thought you were recycling

Would have thought so... If anyone tries to use them on a surface soft enough for them to sink into they would be a prime candidate for Darwin anyway

Looks like the beginings of "another" press to me ....

I know what it is.....











....A bit rusty

Lol, mine is very much a restoration project.....in that shot I have repaired the one piece of rotten upright.....I now have to cut, dril and weld in the new lower frame (its actualy upside down in the picture)
