Simple DIY toe jack plan?
NeoTech:
Uhm, Safety sally here.. but would that thread really hold up to sustained weight for a while? I stripped galvanized M16 rod when changing the big block springs on my -66 street car.. that was a bit of a shocker.. (he he he.)
PekkaNF:
Good point, but you probably bought cheap screw rod....they are not meant for any real load. I'm using 8.8 hardware from reputable source.
P.S. did you change your pants when spring expressed it's true nature?

NeoTech:
No i used proper 8.8 hardened rolled screws actually because otherwise the nuts just binds when compressing the spring.
And yeah when it snapped i kinda needed to make a wipe check and smoke a pipe. :palm:

I thought that I found perfect DIN parts for MK2-model...only thing is that seems to hard to get from Finland (one tool shop nearby lists them), but should go there personnaly to get them....four shops in Germany sells small amouts to private persons, some have miniminum order value of 300€, some don't deliver outside of germany, some have minimum one box (50 or 100 pcs)...
Dang. Would like to buy 10-20 pcs. each. I would have some other uses them too.

Like waching paint to dry :D
On Monday I visited brother and he welded parts together. I tested it today and it seemd to work. There were some scratches at the back of the column. Filed some corners down and now it looks like it would work.
Still thinkking how to shape toe. It is pretty long now and will not help stability.
I'm wondering if paint would hold on it. Probably light phosphating would work better.
