landrover598 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 The simplest things which make such a big difference. Two bits of scrap box and a bit of bent plate make changing between sets of tyres so much easier and quicker. The adaptor is welded to the cup on the jack, and spins around to do the rear axle.

Les Henson Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Very clever - pity you couldn't have made it detachable instead. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco_al Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Very clever - pity you couldn't have made it detachable instead. Could be done with a newer style trolley jack, as most of them have reomvable saddles, which can be purchased separately (Sealey ones can anyway) Very nice idea though.

Night Train Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 It is a good idea, though I'm sure that I have seen it before. About 25 years ago there was a magazine article about making one that replaced the standard cup on the jack and placed the cup in a new off set position to go under the diff.

integerspin Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I use one of those, mine has a pin on and goes in the jack instead of the cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
