chassis tilter - Anyone used one?

[lunarboy]

Anyone recommend ( or not!) the use of a tilter for a car needing inner/ outer sills and wheelarches. Do you need to empty all fluids etc?

We've used tilters in several events at the NEC etc. over the years, including at last year's NEC. They are fantastic for working on the underside of the car. It's nervewracking, but very worthwhile!

To tilt the car one way (e.g. with the petrol filler in the air) no fluids need to be drained. The other way though is a different picture.

Mr Ianp6man has a nice one that can rotate the car 360 degrees.

I once worked on a morris minor for a friend and we just got an old matress and rolled the car onto it.

Whichever way you do it , do you need to remove the battery to prevent acid leaking out ?

I would say definately, its easy to remove the battery so you might as well.
