Just so theres no confussion, you joddle with a joddler... another name for it is a stepper. You can get manual and pneumatic ones.

pneumatic ones are the bees knees!
Where can one find a manual one? I've never seen one. I think I may want one!

As you can see from Ryan's footer he owns one of the fairly rare ex-NSW Police 1971 MK II S's, the one with the burst-proof doors. I reckon the sun-roof was installed in his car by a previous owner partly as a way to cover up the hole in the middle of the roof where the two-way radio aerial was located. On one of my cars the hole was simply patched.

In my view, Ryan, if you want to preserve the car as a reasonably original ex-Police vehicle with the usual holes and SPO41 options (reversing lights, two-speed wipers, etc.) so as to maintain maximum resale value I would fit a replacement turret. If you aren't fussed about its history then you can ignore my suggestion.

I didn't notice that, so I've changed my mind, I'd do a turret cut through the pillars

But it's only one of them Cooper S's, they are a reasonable source of spares for our GTs (ducks for cover)

Yeah at TAFE they only ever called it a joddler.

Doc, you're a fitter yeah?


Mick the manual ones are a pain, most people can't get a decent clean step with them. But I "think" VG auto might sell them, if anyones going to keep them on the shelf it would be them.

Trust me I worked in the appliance sheet metal forming game for 40+ years, and a joggler it is.
Just coz someone calls it a joddler on eBay... it ain't one.

PK I'm a fitter & machinist originally by trade, yeah...

Picky...picky....

I suspect in the fitting trade they call it a Joggler and in Panel Beating a Joddler. Same animal, different smell.....

Ok, it looks like it is known by both names... perhaps Joddler is a Pommie name?
