Dan110 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Hi guys, Just a quick question - I'm working on some home-made sills and wondering what diameter tubing would be required to pass through them for holes to use a high-lift jack? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveG Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Personally, I wouldn't bother. Hi-lift jack works well on flat bottom of sill. Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I would look at putting something to stop the High lift sliding from the jacking point... something like a couple of bits of bar welded on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevorevans Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 As SteveG ^^ I have Guardian jackable rock sliders but no jack adapter, so far all has been well just using a high lift on the bottom section to jack up the disco.

Landy-Novice Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 holes with a high lift? i take it you have an adapter? something like this? http://www.toolsandsuppliesforless.net/store/p70830/Maasdam-Jackall-Jack-Adapter-/product_info.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan110 Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 Lovely, cheers guys. That was my first thought but then I started thinking that drilling some holes might be a good way to empty the box sections of all the rust that's rattling around inside and introduce some waxoyl! Maybe i'll make my life easier and just leave it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejparrott Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 If you fit a tube for an adapter like that, I've found that you can only get to a certain angle, and then the adaptor will jam in the tube....by welding some stops and using the normal jack foot, you dont have that problem. You'd be alright for changing a wheel on the road, but i think you'd end up cursing off-road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
