I took a break from moving and cleaning stuff to work on an issue that has bothered me for a long time. It also allowed me to keep moving forward with organizing and storing my crap...
I worked on one project Sunday after lunch. My engine hoist is one of those fold up units and I have never been happy about the way the legs fold up and lean making it some what unbalanced when folded up.
I have a couple pieces of sheet metal angle with some holes in it that seemed like it could make a good solution to my issue.
So I thought of how I could make it better and came up with this mock up with a C-clamp:
A simple ball bungee holds the legs in position during storage:
So a little bit of welding and paint I have a finished solution. The angle even gives me a place to store the lifting chains and other items...
Not a bod solution for about 30 minutes worth of my time.
