[Spridgets] Need pointer to building a shop dolly for my spare engine

[Larry Daniels]

I built two rolling carts out of 2X4s with 3" casters.  They have upper and 
lower trays and are plenty strong enough to hold motors and trans, etc.

On one of them I have a spare complete "B" series motor and an aluminum V-8 
short block on top and a Datsun 5-speed and lots of misc. parts below.  The 
other cart has another Aluminum V-8 short block and a Rover 5-speed on top 
with another Rover 5-speed as well as a half dozen heads and other misc. 
parts on the bottom.  These 2X4 carts are plenty strong enough for all of 
this.  One difference from that "C" series Austin Healey dolly is that I 
used all lag bolts in pre-drilled holes rather than using nails.

I have less than $25 in each of these carts.  They are easily rolled around 
the garage as needed.

How about a C-Series Austin-Healey dolly?

Some time back, there were plans for making an A-series engine dolly. I

lost that post in a hard drive crash, and can't find it via the usual

Google and the list archive searches.



Does anyone remember where I can find those plans?



Thanks,

Dave Ambrose
