Compatible jack for a T3

Post by **ben50** » 24 Mar 2008, 18:44

Hi, My T3 arrived into my ownership with no jack or wheel brace, I have been offered a jack and brace from a T4, Will it fit or are they completely different? If they are different, does anyone know of a suitable alternative or maybe have a spare knocking around int he Bristol area?

Cheers,

Ben

i carry a small cheap trolly jack and a slice of 4" thick wall box section, one side has rubber glued to it, the opposite has a peg welded to it the size of the peg on the bottom of the cup of the jack

Cheers, that sounds like a better idea than what I'm doing at the moment - Balancing may car trolley jack on a couple of bricks to get a high enough lift.

Standard type T25 jacks come up regularly as people break vans, going rate £10-£15. Regular on Ebay as well.

Compact, fit in a thin bag under the rear seat and you can`t get the jacking points wrong

As for a brace, get one of those extending strong-arm type braces, fit in the same bag. Extend to crack the nuts off (

) retract to tighten them up again
