Hi David. Yes, will go the local engineering firm route if nobody's got a prior ready made solution. There are several good ones locally, and if I go that way, I'll take soundings here to see if I can sell a few more for them in the process - probably wouldn't want to handle direct sales if they would supply direct but could do if needed.David Edwards wrote:Good stuff on the air bag jack Ron, shame they are so rare I would not be without mine and have helped so many people with it all have asked where I got it from lol, just wondering if you any sort of engineering firm near you, be an easy task for them to knock up a couple of brackets for the ladder with padlock rings on, be easy to remove too I should think, you never know you might even start a trend and make a few quid flogging em, lol. Remember tho always use the plastic mats with the air bag.
Assume your bag jack is a Draper? Seemed to be the only one marketed here. There are others available from the States but I just grabbed the Draper I found, and didn't look into the American ones in any depth.
Mike - sorry I pinched that last one, earlier yesterday. Let me know if you need to borrow it any time. I would guess that product liability/health and safety issues, with carbon monoxide storage/discharge among other things, have forced Draper to drop them. Probably some bright spark has seen a way to try to get some compensation cash - "deflating your air bag jack killed my very valuable pooch/knocked off my prize parrot", or whatever.
May also decide to reinforce/replace the ladder's upper hinge pins.
