Yes, he was killed to death. Not quite sure what he was thinking of - hanging off the front wheel trying to counterbalance a >2 tonne car....The guy was killed, according to the description.

Back under it again today with axle stands this time and the Jack as extra safety. Other side had an alloy wheel as extra support.
Rock solid. But still a bit nervous.
But got the job done this pm
I might use something like railway sleepers ( which after all would support 100s of tons of trains rolling over them ) and cut angles into them to make the slope I require , building a few up and bolting through . Not sure I'd use relatively small pieces of timber ...
Years ago I made a set from from planks of wood that are used on scaffolding. A lot easier to cut and saw than railway sleepers.I might use something like railway sleepers
Indeed , but I think my chain saw would do the jobYears ago I made a set from from planks of wood that are used on scaffolding. A lot easier to cut and saw than railway sleepers.
How high were they ?I use these, kept them when i sold our motorhome. They are relatively light but can support up to 1500kgs per wheel.

Good old dads advice!Those stands kind of look familiar.
Apart from aging, there's the question of whether they were ever really strong enough to safely carry a 1.8 tonne luxury V8.
A modern Halfords car ramp is limited at just two tonnes - and that's a ramp sold in the age of the chubby SUV.
I suspect that ten years ago the standard might have been a bit lower.
As Old Dads say, "Avoid trusting your body to an axle stand or car ramp"
