I don't think it would be any use to me - my ducks don't squeak, they quack.

Perhaps a ratchet strap between the two large links at the bottom to hold them parallel?

Never thought of that. Certainly, it'd have to be a drill with a fair bit of grunt and you'd have to fabricate some substantial sort of hook to clamp in the drill chuck that would connect with the winding eye on the jack. I might give it a go but I'd be a little nervous about burning out my drill. W...

Might it be prudent to seal over the rivet heads with a layer of Araldite before fitting?

I've got a pair of them, bought in the 1970's, but tend only to use them in the one set position as cranking them up with a car sitting on top of them is real donkey work and nearly as bad lowering the blighters when you've finished!

"...to maintain wheel cylinder sealing inside the drums" seems to suggest that, without a pressure-retention device, brake-fluid leakage will occur. I'm taking it that that has not been the experience of those of you already using a top-hat free system whilst still retaining the original d...

Well, all I can say is that it's common enough to have happened on my car too and, indeed, to the same shocker.

Thank you gentlemen both. As Dirty Harry famously said, "You've got to ask yourself one question. Do I feel lucky?"

I'm currently looking into the pros/cons whys and wherefores of fitting front discs and, having researched the topic in the archives it's become apparent that it's going to be necessary to remove the top-hat seal from the master cylinder to avoid the problem of the discs binding when the pedal is re...

Wow! And to think that you drove that home!

Unsurprisingly, he had some 'interesting' vehicles, severa...

My favourite bodge story appeared in a car magazine many years ago. A Reliant Regal van offered as a trade-in seemed to be riding a little low on the offside rear corner. Suspecting collapsed suspension, the garage guy had a closer look and it transpired that the thing had had a rear-end shunt at so...

At first glance I couldn't work out the size because the ruler markings are small and indistinct but then I looked closer and saw that it's two feet...
