Moving a Zed engine

#1 PostAuthor: Gavin » Wed Sep 25, 2013 8:40 pm

What is the best way of moving an engine around the garage by your self, the reason being is that I am taking it out the frame but I will need to move it out of the way occasionally

been there done that, kids scooter as well. But not ideal, I have seen somebody on here with a square frame with a jockey wheel at each corner, much better.
Think Halfrauds or BandQ sell them (the wheels that is), thern just bolt em to an angle iron frame with a wood base.

Should have nipped down to ASDA and "borrowed" a trolley.
They are perfect once you chop the basket bit off and bolt on some ply to the lower rails.
And the best part is they only cost a quid :D
