#1 Correct jack for series 1

Post by Erikantwerp » Sat Mar 08, 2008 6:52 pm

Hi there,

I was wondering if anybody would know what the correct jack would be for a 1966 4.2 FHC series I ? I know there were three "models", one with handle attached (definitly 3.8 but what about 4.2 ?), a second model with handle not attached and series three model which was a totally different model.

Can anybody help out ?

many thx

The early 3.8's had a bottle jack. The later 3.8's and 4.2's had the folding T shaped screw jack with a ratchet handle made by Metallifacture and stored in a black vinyl/canvas cover similar to the toolkit

e.g.: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JAGUAR-X ... enameZWDVW

I believe the bottle jacks were partnered with the round metal toolkit.
