Hi All,

I don't have a jack kit for my mini, which is ok for the time being given its not registered yet and when I looked online at the various mini parts stockists, it looks as though a jack and wheel brace arent available, does anyone have one or is there a better alternative available.... what do you all use recommend??

cheers

To date he hasn't really listed second-hand parts on his website, but he still has a large inventory of used parts so you need to call or email him.

I use a little bottle jack with a adaptor I welded up that goes on the jack shaft and in the jack hole under neath I don't trust the original I've only used it once and that was enough in only stays in the boot to show it has the original bag jack and brace at show

On a long trip I carry a scissor jack, any wreckers would have some to sell.

The original jack is OK in an emergency as long as you know that the jack hole is strong and not rust effected.

It's also surprising the number of people that don't realise you are meant to have the door open when you use the original jack.

Is this so that you can wind the handle round & round a lot faster than doing half a turn at a time.
I never thought of that :idea:

I use a floor jack at home with modified pad. Got the original one in boot, looking at it I don't think its ever been used. :-)
I modified the wheel brace though, to suit the Mamba wheel nuts. Sometime people should check if they have mags, sometimes the nuts are not the same as original.
