Love he instruction beside the picture above - "when not in use the aperture is covered with a rubber plug"

Of the 10 BMC cars I or the family have owned - never seen one :?

I've never seen one in situ either. Part number is ACA 5328. Will this be the next 'hard to find' item for that concours restoration, much like the fuel pump breather bung?

I really don't like the idea of using the original jacks, especially how close they sit to the door when the car is off the ground.



The original jack is meant to be used with the door open not closed. Sometimes people do not realise this.



You can do it with the door closed if you need to (eg on the road side on the driver's side) but the issue is if anything slips (gravel etc) you could punch a hole through

.


This is the part that concerns me, not usually that much room on the side of the road to have a door open. Even with a mini. Haha

There's an old post here somewhere where people were using those lighter trolley jacks from costso i think ?


I'm one of those people - as a workshop jack it's brilliant (and cheap!), but it's too big to carry around in a Mini on a daily basis.
