Hi,

Thanks for all your suggestions.

Hi,

Very basic question.

I want a trolley jack that is long reach and low profile.

It needs to lift to at least 45cm to get the Supersport up on its axle stands.

The main problem is that most jacks are about 14cm high so when I lower the front of the car it lands on the jack.

I need one with about 40 cm of low profile reach.

I don't want to pay a fortune.

What kind does everybody else use?

It should be easy to attach the drop link to the bracket but Derek at Caterham says they don't use extension pieces any more. He says just bolt it to the bracket.

This seems impossible. I have taken the drop link apart and there is no way it can accept a bolt without a screw on extension piece.

Any ideas?

Great advice thanks.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Hi,

I am enjoying the first stages of the build.

I am unable to tighten the upper spring damper bolts (M8 caphead) to the exact 20 nm value required because I can't get the standard Halfords torque wrench near.

I have tightened the bolts to what feels like the right torque using an alan key comparing with the easily accessible lower bolts.

Any suggestions?

Kind regards,

Douglas
