Factory jack handle

Post by Johnwindwood »

Guys

Our car has the factory jack in good order but the winding handle is missing. We have been carrying the one from my Allegro, which does the job, but we want a proper one really.
Anyone got one to sell thats not going to cost the earth? (Lots of upcoming costs!)

Cheers.
Kind regards

John

It may be possible to get one made. It's a simple bent piece of steel rod. So if you borrowed one as a pattern you should be able to find someone to make you one.

Hi John. Try looking at page 30 Fig. 16 of the Elite Owner´s Handbook and you will see how easy it is to make one as I am sure no super expert can tell the difference between original and Aftermarket.
