mmmmm....very good SHARPIE :rolleyes :lol
hi DUDE...sorry for the slow reply, back at work now after 10 weeks on furlough, been a long week and no garage time :'(
the white beam is box section steel of about 2mm wall thickness, i`ve cut some soft wood which is a snug fit and knocked it into the ends of the tube where they are stacked up in an attempt to stop the box section buckling/bending and bolted the whole lot together with some 12mm studding, height is not quite right but when it is i will weld the lot together,when its lifting the engine is within the foot print of the jack which is VERY heavy and no signs of tipping, i will also weld on a plate on the ends for extra strength and also to help hold the parts together...in the pictures you can see the engines not quite at the right angle so i need to find another way of strapping it to the beam, clicky straps might work but i dont have a lot room...will post some piccies when its finished...
