Thanks for posting. I found this excellent review and unpacking description of the EZ Car Lift here. Really looks very well made. Even found a local to me Triumph owner on their testimonials page, so hoping I can connect and look over some details.

What size cross bar are you using with the Elan? The EZ Car Lift web site calls up
XMC59-X for the Plus 2 (
C indicates custom size) and
XM52-X for the Elan. Assuming the "X" in both part numbers indicates the EZ Car Lift is installed cross ways like in your photo? My guess is for the Elan there is insufficient wheelbase to accommodate the 60" ramp length so the EZ Car Lift has to be positioned across to fit? The Plus 2 looks like there is sufficient wheelbase to fit the ramps. Also looks like they are recommending the cross bar length based on wheelbase to allow the pads to be slid inward and lift directly on the frame, where in your pics it looks like you have effectively padded up to the floor pan?
Does the cross bar nominal part number indicate the total width of the assembled lift, or is it a few inches wider? Looking at the unpacking photos it looked like the whole assembly is slightly wider than the bar length, but I don't know if the part number is the exact length of the cross bar or if they have allowed for the slight extra width of the ramps? Am asking is I am thinking the
XM64 cross bar will accommodate the Plus 2, Esprit, and my BMW M6, which would be great.
