Any chance you can point to the straps you ordered? I’ve scoured Amazon and ordered 3 different brands and alll are wayyyy too big and had to return.
Glad you got yours working but you shouldn’t have had to cut any off like that…
I have my hoist now and will be installing soon and the wires seem taught/ie look like they would spool at same rate. If it doesn’t I’m going to contact Lange for a replacement. Cutting off 12 feet of line is...
I’m hoping this is how it works for me too. How much did you end up clipping off for one of the tails? Hoping it’s not 12 feet! I don’t think it was designed to have to work like that…
Unfortunately no pics of the damaged script as they were thrown away when the new ones were put on. What I know about the damaged aftermarket script:
* bought this one: https://vasherdesign.com/shop/ols/products/classic-bronco-script-style-emblems
*it was almost 11 inches wide vs the 9.x...
@Nc211 if looks like per your photos, the rig does not lift the top straight and does so at an angle. Is that true? I supppse if the two pulleys are off by 1/2 inch it wouldn’t raise straight. @HeliPilot thoguhts?
Why doesn’t your rig look straight?
PS - if you have tall ceilings you cannot use the safety stop if you have a wall mount unless you wall mount is placed far away from the pulleys. Meaning you can only travel the distance between the power unit and the pulley.
PS - you can order a 2nd...
I thought all you needed to do to level it was make one loop of the Crosby clamps into the eyelet longer than the other.? You had to actually cut the wire in the spool??
@HeliPilot is this what you had to do??
How close is the top to your ceiling when fully raised?
How tall are your ceilings?
I’m using the Lange hoist and it requires 2 pulleys spaced 32 inches apart in order to balance the top.
I’m doing this because of the garage door which would hit the top when opening. If I could keep the door closed, raise the top, then slide it back for storage, I could then open the...
Yes…essentially. But it would require a rig and and as the guy above said a lot of engineering. Because there are TWO mounting points on the hard top I think I’d need to build a square with the exactly space between two pulleys that could be slid back and fourth.
This would allow me to not...
I’m running into some engineering problems with my hoist setup. Has anyone ever heard of a rail system with pulleys that I could mount on the ceiling to lift and store the hardtop that could slide:move along rails on the ceiling.
Not even sure logistically this will work but would like to...
I think the OEM one will last much longer than the one I had. Reason: The one o have has adhesive foam sticking to the script (ie the script is 3d printed as a “shell” over the foam and adhesive. The OEM script is one piece molded black with just the adhesive on the back.
IE 1 less place...
