Hi-Lift Jack adapter

<< < (2/2)

Matt_H:
well I haven't worked out the cost of the metal and welding yet, but I'd reckon around £10 for mates £15 to strangers, and to ebayers maybe more!  So for you a tenner :-)

What do you think?

I've two private welding jobs I've been asked to do, for some custom fabrication but those won't take more than a couple of hours to complete, once I've done those I can get round to thinking about the jack adapters.

The bar appears to be 1inch diameter although my holes are close 34mm on my bumper.  I think a 25 or 26mm bar would be more appropriate though.  I'm just debating the other part, I measured my jack and could use 3x3 box section which would go over the whole thing then there would be a bolt through the hole.  Alternatively I could copy the commerical ones and use a U section with two slits cut in the rear, this would allow it to slide over the foot where it widens and also help to spread some of the twisting forces of the adapter.  I've just not decided the best way to do it.

My local metal merchant requires me to buy 9 metres at a time so I better get the design right as I'll have about 50 jack adapters when I'm done!
