Marcos Maniacs

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

Hampton,

My 1971 (3M5759) is the same as Stephen's.

don't know if it is the "Marcos Jack" or not.  The jack handle is a 
rod that folds in 1/2.  The car had the original Avon tires so it 
may not of even been used.  I still carry same in the car since it 
gets the job done when required.

Hi Everyone,
     I am pretty certain that the scissor jack used on the steel frame cars 
was from a Ford Cortina. If that is the case I will get a part number if 
anyone wants to spring for a new one. Otherwise I will try to find a couple 
while I am in the UK and ship in my next container.
