Drilling Under My Car

Featured Replies

How can i drill under my car? Because i can't use axles because my car doesnt have the stand underneath the car for the axle to attach to.

Thank you pal.. where is the suspension arm?

you can put it on the chassis rail, lower suspension arm. DO not put the jack on the sill, as it could fold and damage the car! look for somewhere where it looks very sturdy or ask a friend before you jack the car up if your unsure

theres lots of places, but if your still a bit unsure, leave the jack in place but literally just taking the pressure of the car so if the axle stand does slip you've got the jack which should still hold, but you should be as safe as houses

and if your going under it put a old wheel / some think to stop it crushing you if it dose slip

I've bought some wheel ramps, and still can't get the car high enough to get a electric drill under the car.

Anyone?

er, just dont fit them?

Could just use a hammer & a sharp punch to make a hole suitable to accept self tapping screws. Leaves all the metal there for the screw to bite into.

Any chance those self locking plastic ties would be good enough

When I had neons under mine... I cabled tied them to the brake cables that roll from the front to the back..

I then went over a curb and cracked the neons on the kerb.. Not a bad thing ;) loool

You wont get much respect from this forum for neons btw.. But good luck.. :)

Just the fact i paid £60 for some undercar neons and not willing to lose money so might aswell see what they look like on my car.

Brake cables? As in brake PIPES? That is fairly silly seeing as if you catch something on the road a strong cable tie could quite easily kink or even break a corroded brake pipe.
