Also has anyone used an engine hoist to lift the body. Is this
advisable? and if it can be done where do you mount the ropes to the
body for best lifting and do you need to remove the windshield (glass)?
its been a number of years, but I did successfully use an engine hoist to
remove the body from my TR6 and I did it by myself with no problems.
I had removed the doors, bonnet, and windshield frame
you MUST have braces for the door openings and I think the windshield frame
would be in the way.
I have one of those leveling attachments and I used 4 lift points and
chains - as I recall i put big eyebolts in place - 2 in front and 2 in
passenger
compartment and lifted by those
