Make shift engine crane chains

[ets2k9]

I'm swapping my VTR engine for a VTS this Friday, I have spoken to a hire company who said they will rent me a crane for £30 and if I want the chains it a further £25.

This seems abit excessive for some chain and I wondered if anyone new of any make shift methods I could use?

I know it would make life easier just to rent the chains but I'm trying to keep costs down.

Cheers

you need a block and tackle, that would do the job!

I would use tow rope or something like that and make sure you go around several times. Thats what I would use. smileys/smiley17.gif

Cheers for the help lads but how heavy do you reckon the engine is?

There some chains on Ebay for a tenner but there 450kg maximum will they do the job?

I'd drop it underneath the car. Far easier and much safer !!!

450kg will do the job.

i used chains that you`d normally find suspending swings in childrens play grounds,lol

Cheers for the help I've gone for the Ebay chains, I couldn't bare too see the kids faces when they realised the swings no longer swung smileys/smiley4.gif

Goin under the car seems more hassle to me????
