I've been after a pair of drive on ramps for a while now, but the only ones I can find are angled too steeply for the front clearance of the car!!! Anyone know where I can get a pair with a lower angle?

depends on how much you want to spend.

low angle ones are rare, but you get low level ones which you then jack up, advertised in practical classics etc all the time.

Or use planks of wood or pop the front bumper off.

I have some that are full length and act like a see-saw, you drive up them and then they level out raising the car about 2ft off the ground.

yeah i have some ramps from motor world, are ok on mine and summys cars, so thats a williams 1 and ph2 valver.

Not lowered tho and the rubber bit on the front of the bumper will catch slightly but only just so whack some vasoline on the rubber strip and it will slide over nice ;)

only problem is you need to put somthing behind the ramps or the car will just push them lol :P use big brick or i have some lorry batteries which work wonders :P
