Yep well it seems I stand corrected, so that's all fair enough!

(Anyway, its a little milestone but this will be my 500th post so maybe that's a good number of posts to reflect that despite the best intentions, and consideration of others positions, ones own experience and advice offered can have the potential to either assist or detract, or both, and also that no matter how much one thinks one knows on one thing, there will most likely be somebody with better or different experience, a different approach, or a better idea. However how would we know if people didn't post their ideas and experiences?

My experience is of slings used in steel recovery and recycling, rather than auto restoration. I think my prior post in this thread notes that others may have more knowledge than I in the use of slings.

Anyway if this thread helps just one person somewhere down the track from putting a sling around a vehicle body and bending it, then its a great thread.
