Got my locking mechanism complete this weekend, still have to add a few more stops for lower heights but very happy with its operation.
It rachets up as you jack up the lift and locks into a 1/2" round on the bottom. Once locked this thing has 0 flex up down or side to side. Connected both arms so you can raise the locks and pin them out of the way all from one side and doesn't get in the way of my jack! I am leaving the vise grip handle on it, I like the look to much and keeps it so I can disassemble the lock mechanism easily.
Would have liked to do more this weekend but the high of -2 yesterday and morning Church kept me from wanting to wait to heat up the shop lol.
On a side note, I am 1 week free of cigarettes! Very happy with that accomplishment and still going strong.
