Ramirez Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 As those of us with very low cars know, the standard jack is a waste of time. Finding a jack that works is nigh on imposible. Also carrying wood with you everywere is a non starter.With this in mind Ive found a Jack that, at full compresion is just 1.5" (used for race cars).So would anyone be interested in a group buy?

Max69vk Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 1.5"? Thats seriously low! I've been looking into air jacks like on the touring cars, hit the button & the rams lift you off the floor. Not cheap though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramirez Posted August 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Right, there seems to be some interest. Great!I'll get some prices on bulk orders and see what deals I can get.If anyone else is interested please add your name.The more people the (obviously) cheaper they'll become.

nfbr Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 i'm imagining these wont be cheep (the ones we can get at work are around £100 - £200) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupo_gaz Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 I might be able to get some for under a £100 if anyone is interested. these are the alu race car jacks. anyone interested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Im intrested if we are talking about a £20 part.Any more and Im out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max69vk Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Im certain most 'race' jacks advertised are a minimum saddle height of 89mm (3&1/2" approx) + due to the design they aren't long reach. Anything running 1.5" is pretty special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty_Gti Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 i would be interested but dependant on a reasonable price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L119 UPO Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Sounds as though these are going to be expensive. Found one on Machine Mart with a saddle height of 79mm (3") and it's £94 http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/...nsmission-jacks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_eano Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 you got a link to what jack it is ramirez? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou's Lupo GTI Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 I bought a trolley jack for mine from machine mart and it was less than £30.... fits under my low lupo easilyIts a 2tonne jack and is quite good quality.I will look 2 night when I get to my workshop and let you guys know what model it is....The machine mart guys in my local one were very helpful and took a couple of jacks outside to try on the car!
