 I'm not sure I want to use ramps that split in two!   Be a bit careful with ramps. I used mine in the backyard on the grass and they were fine. A bit later, I wanted to degrease the engine so I put the ramps out in the front yard which is gravel (I'm a long time British car owner, all of which marked their territory). I got the RR halfway up the ramps when one slipped sideways nearly dropped it off the ramp. I didn't degrease the engine! Ron B.

| kbald Member Since: 17 Aug 2015 Location: Leeds Posts: 492      | I have a set of the plastic ones but one piece that look the same as stans. Work really well and are very sturdy. I slip a couple of axle stands under for good measure but it's a belt and braces job. Plus the plastic ones are lighter than the metal stuff and less noisy too!

 I’ve also got these but from Amazon. I saw Bodsy use something similar when getting the gearbox flushed at Dr Robs place. Steve. | ||
