 Re: 1976 AZU250 Is it ok to roll/flip a van body on to it's roof to work on the underneath? Provided it's sitting on mattresses.

Harley Ask Geert here on the very forum too He did it even without Matrass  A Matrass can catch fire when welding/grinding.. Attachment:

Re: 1976 AZU250 No matresses !!
It seems that if they catch fire they burn like hell!
You could use old tyres

Re: 1976 AZU250 Smiffy, I braced it before I took the shell from the chassis , as you can see in this picture.  Onderzijde by geert1953, on Flickr The most difficult bit is to turn it on one site. I used some old tyres to support the A and B post and the back of the van while turning over. Best is to have some help . The last bit ( turning it on the roof) is much easier , but you need some help as well to prevent the car rolling over and ending on the other site instead of the roof. Mind you, you need some space to turn ! Shall I come over and give you a hand ?

Well, I thought you would say : "Thanks for the offer, but I am most capable to do it myself , with a little help of my dear wife ( or neighbour or any body else) ! Than you would say to your fellow Brits : "They are so kind those Dutch!" And I would not have to bother to come over to the Midlands by train , ferry and taxi etc. Now I am not sure
