[TR] Car jack for Triumph Cars

[Stuart Greenwood]

The left and right  main frame members  of the TR and Spitfire cars are close together and this issue, I think, renders all the lifts like Bendipack quick lift and Ezcarlift not suitable. With these lifts you have to lift on the out riggers which are welded to the main frame members and hence not the strongest part of the frame. Instead I bought this jack and the cross beam for Harbor Freight:-

The cross beam can be adjusted for length and the pads on it can be adjusted for height. The low profile long reach jack allows you to place the cross beam on the left and right main frames at both the front and rear of the car. So I jack up my TR250 at the back and support with axle stands them do the same at the front. OK it iis a bit more time consuming that the lifts mentioned but it is a hell of a lot cheaper. I have not tried this system on the Spitfire yet but I see no reason why it won't work Stuart A GreenwoodTR250. 1971  MkIV spitfire
