Any idea what this is for?

This is what my early plus two jack looks like. Also shown in operation in the owners handbook!

Hi

If you do not want the jack handle stick it on ebay, I will bid mine is not to good.

I have the rachet jack system on my +2..
Works OK and seems more stable that the scissor jacks I have used before although it is true if the rachet jumps you can end up punching the tarmac!

Jason, I'd feel awful taking money from a fellow board member. Tell you what, I'll swap you for a Chapman steering wheel, a period radio, some seat belts and a front moustache, throw in a couple of fully trimmed door cards as well (black please) and we will both have the feel good factor without involving that tacky money thing

I bought a replacement from Paul Matty's as I still have the original jack and use it. The ratchet spring had broke on the original handle.

That sounds like a bargin

I have a couple of spare door cards that are on my list to re-back. My existing ones are ok but the water has got to them and made them curl.

I have also punched the tarmac, in-fact at least once everytime I use it.

I tried to get a ratch from Matty's but they said they are not stocking them anymore

The rivets on mine have become loose so it slips. I will proberby drill them out and re-revit it or put small nut/bolts through.

Or, get an 8 point socket the right size and use a real ratchet.

Ha Ha

Where's the fun in that???

If I wanted an easy life I wouldn't have bought an almost 40 year old Lotus without seeing it
