Default pressure washing a 914 power plant made easy!

Unfortunately a lift cable broke when we just had the lifts serviced two months ago! Not too much damage though and the paint was not that nice so the car will be better than before after it is fixed.

Ouch!

Now that's a dedicated chassis washer.

There's not a safety catch on the side that broke that keeps the lift arm from falling more than a few inches in the event of a broken cable? If not, that's crazy, and no one should be working under a car on a lift like that. My Backyard Buddy 4-post can't fall more than one hole on one corner if a cable snaps due to the spring loaded safety catches.
