Minimum lift width for '69

[rdelmendo]

Hi all-

I'm considering getting a single post lift to stack my '69E and '61 Roadster. My garage is already packed and to fit the lift needs to be as narrow as possible.

The Roadster is 60" wide at the wheels. Unfortunately, the '69E is currently apart about to get blasted before metal work so I can't measure outside wheel width. I'm estimating about 65". Would someone mind measuring for me?

Next question is what is the narrowest I could adjust the ramps for the 911 (since the 356 is narrower)? The ramps do have 1" ledges so I was thinking 2" wider than the 911 wheels to give a bit of room.

Comments are welcome as the lift is heavy and not cheap. Measure 3 times, buy once...

f/r track on a '69 w/ 6" wheels is 1327/1354mm

the tires go ~3" more in and out than the track
