the showman 4,074 #1 Posted April 18, 2018 Had to go and pick up a caravan from having a remote self levelling system fitted and while i was there I couldn't help but notice they had a large scrap pile. I just had to have a rummage ( i just couldn't help myself). I found a frame with a scissor lift and 3 electric 12 volt motors that came out of a mobility van. I asked the chap in the workshop if I could buy it and he said take what you want he even gave me a hand to load it, i gave him £20 for their teapot fund. I hitched up and was just about to leave when the boss came out and gave me the money back and said he was happy I could make use of it. 6 Ian, pmackellow, HeadExam and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alan 1,273 #6 Posted April 18, 2018 Good find Chris. I expect you will be paying regular visits there now to see what other goodie's end up on the pile. 3 the showman, HeadExam and expeatfarmer reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
expeatfarmer 591 #7 Posted April 19, 2018 Did you get the bench grinder as well? It looks as if it was a seat lifting mechanism from something like a combine harvester should be a useful bit of kit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While i was there a disabled lady was driving a Voltswagen T5 with a similar set up, they were also fitted to campervans. Ive downloaded a manual from the internet, might be handy. 3 nigel, Alan and Cub Cadet reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
