The great lack of wreckers up my way with a wide range of cars was my undoing......... but it is worth having a look, some of the bigger yards I'

Like John has said above, have come across a few since I got mine and they may go close. Just try and get a unit that does not use vacuum (only cables) then you should be able to cut and shut the cable lengths to suit. life'
