Thread: New Jack option.

No worries Richard and I agree, best to be accurate.
Sorry, my initial 1.5mm statement was "rounded-off" just to describe the extent of what I did.
So the reasonably accurate figures I measured with vernier calipers are as follows:

LandyAndy Adapter ID = 30.5mm
Omega BST2000 OD = 32.2mm
After lathe machining Adapter ID = 32.3mm

This produced a nice snug fit that allowed the grub screw to do its job.
I suggest having the jack with you to confirm everything fits properly.
Note that the jack OD may not be the most accurately fabricated item and therefore best confirmed directly.
Vernier calipers are the best way to measure ID & OD but a tape measure would be good enough.

Cheers,
Scott

Thanks Scott

I asked because I may be able to get my son to do it and he would not have access to the jack to be sure.

You will see this advertised on Amazon by a number of sellers inc. one called Kev's.. don't.. when you go thru the process it rejects Oz shipping.. so use this link to the seller which is the Amazon international shipping.. I think it comes from same seller except Amazon assists with the shipping. Amazon.com: Omega 10025B Black Hydraulic Bottle Jack - 2 Ton Capacity: Automotive

Just a heads up for anyone else thinking of getting one of these.... They do not go high enough to lift a wheel off the ground (if using chassis point).
Back to square one.
At least i discovered this at home rather than in the middle of the bush!

I've not looked yet, but is there any reason that one can't jack the car under the suspension arms as we always used to do?

I bought the Omega jack and am getting a plate made up by a mate that will fit over the top. This will then have a lump of wood on top of that so that I can use the suspension arms instead of the body to lift my L322.

I used to use my old D1 jack on it but the jack needs a refurb, so I bought the Omega jack as a replacement.

cheers

Hi Andrew
Do you have any of the adapters left? If not will you be getting another batch made anytime soon?

I dont have any.
I saw Lindsay a few weeks ago,he wasnt too keen just yet.
I will bug him again once he has settled back into uni.
I already have you on my waiting list.
