FAST060 Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 So I want to buy a jack. Pretty simple? I don't trust the jack that came with SMOKIE. I've seen that thing just pop right out and I'm not gonna be that girl. So, keeping in mind space and ease of use.... Anyone have any suggestions? Will I be using it THAT much to warrant buying a jack, yes I will.

1975_mini Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 if you are looking for a jack when doing projects, sears had a 3ton jacks, 2 stands, and a creeper for 99 bucks. Brandy got it for me last year and works great on her clubman. I have to drive watson up on ramps first to get the jack under, but prefer that way less twist to the subframe. Harbor freight has lot of good bottle jacks for carrying around. when loooking the wider the base the more stable. Any time you have a reason to go to harbor freight its a good thing. 1975 Mini 1000, 998cc A+ w/ K&N air filter, 10" Mamba wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1975_mini Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 just read in the ptunning post that you a dropping smokie, not sure if a bottle jack will work due to clearance, you will probably need to use a scissor jack. I would wait till after you lower and measure your clearance from jacking point to ground. 1975 Mini 1000, 998cc A+ w/ K&N air filter, 10" Mamba wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhBe1 Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Any of the aluminum "race" jacks, from Harbor Freight or Pep Boys, etc, should do. I usually use a Torin from Pep Boys, works fine.
