They may not be safe. Of course some are. Harbour Freight Tools has a chain hoist (1 ton) for $49.99. =20 Also an electric hoist for $79.99, rated 440 lbs. I have one for 880 lbs = that cost about $139.99.

I use a 3/4" nylon rope. I tie one end of the rope to the capo bar at = the treble end and cross brace. Then to the hook on the come-alomg. Then = I bring the rope to the bass end somewhere, and back to the hook. Then = to one of the plate holes, and back to the hook. If there is a place at = the tail end of the plate to put the rope around, I bring it there also. = I then adjust the different sections of the rope so that the plate lifts = almost level. It takes a little maneuvering, but most of the time I get = the plate pretty level. That makes it easy to bring it down on the nose = bolts. But you're right, 9 nose bolts is a lot.=20 Good luck=20 Wim=20 ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
