I’ve obviously got no idea what that is for. However, let me know if any other presses cross your path as I want/need one….
@doobin - how’s that one you bought? Show us stuff you’ve bent!

I’ve fancied one for a while, just need the time to chuck it together and have a play!
I (finally!) opened it up to find the manual/supplied fixings as someone on Arbtalk had mentioned swapping the supplied nuts with nylocs and I wanted to get the right sizes bought - it turns out that it is supplied with nylocs so I either imagined it or someone was talking bollocks (or most likely a combination of both!).

Don’t be daft!!!
(It is largely assembled, I’m just waiting for a load of steel to nail together a super-stiff forkliftable frame to mount the rails on before I mess around truing everything up).

What kind of ‘frame’ are you wanting would a FLT mast work

 

[Monkeybusiness]

If it was 6m long it might!
I’ve given a cutting list to the local stockholder tbh mate. It needs to be as flat as possible and I don’t have your skills to modify anything and expect it to work!!!

Good thinking...that was worry how to shift it once assembled as I'm not bothered about trailer and don't want it on my Ifor full time. I'll watch with interest.
