- Has anyone tried the "Oberg Tilt Lift" that Moss sells? If it works, it looks like a real timesaver. I seem to recall trying to avoid resting the engine on the steering rack while I re-balanced the 1

- Nope. I can't justify $75 for a device that mounts diagonally and would tend to roll the unit as it tilts. For that feature, I can pick up a $5 2" wide nylon strap from Horrible Fright, hook one end

- My way was simpler, faster, and easier than attaching the Oberg. Where does the K I S S come in with that? Besides, Horrible Fright is a lot closer than Ed's. David Lieb

- umm.. of course it will also allow the uncontrollable tilting in either direction if something goes wrong. I bought one of the cheapo screw type levelers from HF some years ago and it works like a ch

- You would think so, but with the amount of sliding that the 2" wide nylon strap has to do to tilt, there is nothing uncontrolled about the tilting. I have used the 4-chain tilt bars; for use with a

- The strap cost me all of $5. Your rotor probably cost you $40. If you want to talk theory, your chains will wear out, too. In my lifetime? Of course not. Friction has never stopped working for me ye
