Thanks, John

What type of head does your winder have? Square , paddle or something else? My 1953 80" came with a 1/53 dated Shelley LJ25 (same as the '49 dated Shelley on jack website) with the paddle type winder head on 2' 6" 1/2" square shaft with a forged eye welded on for the wooden winder handle. The socket on the jack looks at first glace to accept the crank handle, but the socket is too small. I think Rover used whatever Shelley could supply that fitted their weight capacity needs and minimum and maxium heights. All LR jaccks I have seen have a curved saddle that sits under the tubular section of the axle casing. I hope that info is of help. 5380

Mine has a King Dick jack.
I'd have to look and check what the saddle shape is.

Hi Jim, the bars I have, have a square end. I have a Shelly LJ31 but it looks too small in height. I'd be grateful if you can supply the correct jack.

PS: I emailed you some pics of a Roamer drive I fitted to the S1. Talk soon.

I'm pretty sure I've got 2 Shelly jacks from Series 1 vintage.
Unfortunately not at home at present so can't check but both would be available if still stored at back of jack cupboard. Possibly also have operating handles.

I suspect that Australian built Series Landrovers were delivered with a variety of different jacks - but never having had a new one, I cannot really help!
