Jack and jack handle colour elan sprint

[bloodknock]

Hello people
I know, I know, I'm a pedant, obsessive, compulsive but....... can anyone tell me what the original colour code is for the paint used on the jack and jack ratchet????
Thanks in anticipation
Bob

No idea on the colour code, but it's grey:

I have seen them in red. Look at the ex-Neil Widdowson Sprint in the Elan book by Duncan Wherrett. Jim

Several colours shown on this website - and one code .....RAF blue/grey' - code BS633.

Pretty sure that's a darker grey than my jack though which is the one shown in the above photo.

Thanks gentlemen
Phil, your jack looks identical to mine in shape and colour, but mine is more "weathered" hence my need for paint!
thanks again everyone
Bob

Paint it red to remind yourself, that it's dammed dangerous getting under a car that is only supported by a jack.
