lgn1, you're on to something, can you give me specifics?

defanjos, it's not carburetor related.

[lgn1]

it supports the oil pan while work is performed on it

[bunltd]

oil pan: close but not quite what I'm looking for...

[duckhunter]

Do mechanics use them?

[lgn1]

Looks to thin to be involved with anything heavy like hoisting the entire engine.

[defanjos]

Does it hold the engine head?

[lgn1]

top part of a low lift transmission jack

[bunltd]

duckhunter - yes mechanics use them.

lgn1 - you're right - not the whole engine, but heavy, yes.

defanjos - not the heads.

[trillianjedi]

The exhaust?

[bunltd]

Good job lgn1. I had seen these in car shops before but didn't know the use for them. Most of the time the mechanics use them for laying tools on. I almost guessed that!

[lgn1]

Thanks

I wish I was in Vegas (or Los Wages as I like to call it). It is snowing right now in Halifax, NS, and I could use a warmer climate.

That was a good quiz. I never did find an image, and was using deductive logic on this one.

That metal looks kind of thin to me and I wouln't trust it on my transmission.

Next Quiz will be next Saturday. Time to be announce.

Some day, I like to make it to a pubcom, and maybe next year I will.

Thanks to my husband for this gizmo.
(I've seen him use things other than this gizmo to accomplish it's function, not recommended when you drop a tranny...;))
