It might be NOS tool kit but is it the tool kit as fitted to Australian Minis? I have never seen a red jack in an Aussie Mini. |

One possible problem is what was sold by Parts and Accessories and what was fitted on the production line may be two different things. The took bag doesn't look like the tool bags in any Minis I have owned. |

I've had a look through various Australian Mini parts books and engineering drawings. The following is what is documented by BMC, so not necessarily what occurred in practice, although I've no reason to think differently. Only the Mini saloon jack is discussed here. Mini van jacks are of a different design. The jack specified for the Mini saloon from November 1965 through to final Mini production in Australia (end 1978) is part AYA2156 (example pictured below from my MK II S). The engineering drawing shows it to be 18.44 inches high from the base to the top of the screw nut. The finish is black lacquer. It has an instruction decal with white writing and diagram on black background affixed to the flat of the upright. The jack was made for BMC Australia by APAC Industries (Finsbury, S.A.), later to become Clyde-APAC. The previous version of this jack, part AYA2054, is shorter at 15.25 inches high and was released into production in March 1964. Prior to this date I believe UK manufactured jacks of the same basic design were used but I'll do a bit more investigation on this. Apart from being 3 inches shorter, the earlier jack (AYA2054) is missing the short piece of 1/2" bar welded to the lifting lug (see drawing below). I assume this design change was to limit the travel of the lifting lug, for safety or metal fatigue and stress reasons. Also, in September 1964 the background to the instruction decal was changed from transparent to black. No idea why, although I've heard transparent sticky labels are difficult to print on, so maybe the instructions were being rubbed off over time. I believe the jack handle with hub cap removal tool on the end was always red in Australia. Attachment: AYA2156 Mini Jack 1.jpg Attachment: AYA2156 Mini Jack 2.jpg Attachment: AYA2156 Mini Jack 3.jpg

Red one out of a very original Cooper, seems to be a different design as well as just being red compared to black. Different end cap design as well as the round bar not being present. Attachment: Cooper-Jack.jpg

Attachment: Cooper-Jack.jpg That is the same as what came in my `61 850. All early 60s jacks were red. |

The jack bag has a different surface look to what I think is original. It could be just the light but looks different. The tie straps are flat plastic on what I think is original. I got two jack bags with the Cooper S ( 1970 ) One used also. They are both the same. I have a mint nos bag which I've had for a number of year's. Never used. My Cooper S came some what complete and original with a black jack and red handle and a hub cap remover plus original owner's hand book. Not to say I'm right but that's my experience with this subject. Cheers |
