[Healeys] Shelley jack

[i erbs]

I think I used to have one as I found the handle for one a few months ago :)
I think the scissor jack makes more sense. I'll head to harbor freight
 tomorrow.
Funny how I never had a spare in the car during the 10 year use as a daily
driver. But can't stop thinking about how important it is now. I have disk
wheel and disk brakes, so I wont be able to borrow a spare form anyone in
the club when we tour...
