must be handy havin your own!!, i used to have one i made at work from some angle iron/box section and a bottle jack.. but sold it years back when i gave up the garage i used to do mot work in me spare time.. i use the one at me work now when im doin the odd late shift.. but you have to be carefull, its an industrial 50 ton jobby and if you havent got the spacers right and start pumpin somethings going to go bang.. and its bound not to be the spacers or the bearing or the press... lol

will make my own again when i eventually get a garage to do my bits... bargin there though ive seen em go for alot more!!

Just a small word of warning, everything on the press, like the pushrod for example, was not dead straight, so a few minor 'modifications' might be necessary
