Have seen the thread on making your own car ramps but dont really have the time to do this.
So, looking for a decent pair of car ramps with low ground clearance extensions so that I can ramp up my Mercedes A Class W169 (I need to remove the alternator).
The tyres are 205 17inch and all the ramps I have seen online are narrower than 20cm and look really flimsy.
I have a 3 tonne jack and axle stands (Halfords) but the engine tray means I cannot see if there is a central jacking point.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

The width of the ramps isn't really an issue with that small difference, they may look flimsy, but if they say they will take 2t for arguments sake they will take (normally) well over another 50%, so are more than up to the task.Gassing Station | Home Mechanics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
