Re: [MarcosManiacs] Which jack?

2006-01-18 by Mike Denman

The original jack for the wooden frame cars came from a Ford Cortina and does have a pin on the jack that fits into a hole in a metal plate slightly forward of the seat pan. I have no idea of what is appropriate for a metal frame car.

Hello all,
Does anyone know what jack is used for the metal chassis cars?
The photos in a couple of the tests of the period show a sissors style
and the jacking points on the frame have a hole in the middle for a
pin (or so it seems). Did Marcos just use one from another car of the
period such as Spitfire? Also, was a tool kit original to the car?
Thanks again,
Hampton Peterson
