Beetle Engine Dolly Urgently Needed

Post by OD_1 »

Hi All,

I need to pull my engine but i have absolutely nowhere to put it. So i'm currently in the process of trying to make my own engine dolly but thats going pretty slowly...

Does anyone know where i can buy on of these?

drop it onto a piece of wood or hardboard and slide it around.... works for me
if you have to have a dolly, I am sure I can make one for you

I have taken a pallet and bought swivel wheels from the hardware store. Bolt them on each corner and there she goes. I have put 2 slightly longer planks so a body can also rest on it. It works well. You can also get half pallets and in plastic then do the same. Great if you want to wash down anything. Maybe look up Megapak's web site and see what they have.
