[TR] Scissor Lift

[brserv at aol.com]

I have the 3500 model that I use on my 1959 TR3A and 1966 TR4A. I chose the 3500 model over the 5000 model for three reasons.  First it slides right in between the front and rear wheels. Second, it fits the frame jacking areas very well, and third, the jacks are a lot lighter in weight than the 5000 jacks. I have the factory storage hooks on my wall, and they stow without any real effort. Did I mention that they are much lighter:)
 I had to order the 35000 model from the factory because the big box stores do not seem to carry them. Alex

 Hi, Jeff, Once the car is raised, you let it down a little to engage the locks.  Very stable and the jacking points line up fine for me. Greg

Hi,  Ben, My quick jack ( https://www.quickjack.com/?gad_source=1) has worked very well for me and my TR-4. I have the 5000 model.
 Hi Greg, I was looking at these today, as my local big box home store (Lowe's) has them on sale for an attractive price, plus I get an additional 5% off.  I note that you have placed it inboard of the tires - I had given up on the 5000 model because it won't fit at the jacking points.  Do you find the stability of the raised car to be questionable with the jacks closer to the center?

I also have a Spitfire,and the same problem appears in spades.  I'm not sure if even the 3500 would fit the jacking points on that car.
