Ian B Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Can anyone see any problems with this? I'm looking at securely fixing it in front of the heater. I know it will get a bit warm but there is only a plastic bush on one end of it and I'm pretty sure that that won't be affected. Any thoughts?

Foxy Smith Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Ian, I keep my jack where the heater used to be. Has been fine. I used a couple of leather cycle toe straps to fasten in place, works very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Mupferit Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I was considering doing this as well. Seems a good place to put it, not least if you are touring with a fully loaded car, as it means you can get to it easily should you need to without dragging everything out of the boot.

Area Representative paul richards Posted August 8, 2005 Area Representative Share Posted August 8, 2005 Put my jack up front on top of chassis running above and parallel to bottom hose. Held to chassis with bunbee straps. Also manage to carry spare alternator belt and and a few other bits and pieces in the bag with the jack. Space in front of heater is then free for a toolbox.

Ian B Posted August 12, 2005 Author Share Posted August 12, 2005 That was my initial thought Paul. Did you use an 'off-the-shelf' box (where from?) or did you fabricate something? Good idea for the toe straps Foxy, I was going to drill a couple of M5 holes in the base plate of the jack with Nutserts in the plate that it sits on.

Area Representative paul richards Posted August 13, 2005 Area Representative Share Posted August 13, 2005 Jack kept in the standard supplied bag. Tool box comprises a plastic (waterproof) sandwich type box which fits into an open top box fabricated from aluminium sheet and held to scuttle with self tappers. This can be achieved on my K series car by routing cables across front of scuttle rather than on top. Paul Richards Joint AO - L.A.D.S.

Andy Best Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 My Jack (although I don'r really need one now ❗) is mounted just in front of the scuttle, two small eye bolts used to thread some very small bunges through. It's been there four years and no problems. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
