I was looking at getting one of these. Out of interest, how low is it to the ground when fully down?New green toy to make life easier. View attachment 61597

Spec is 110mm drive over height. Not measured it but it’s about right. Lifts 1m which just fits my garage. The little jobs I did yesterday were so much easier. Glad I decided to get it.I was looking at getting one of these. Out of interest, how low is it to the ground when fully down?

Only when it rains I suppose?Isn't the roof going to leak?
Beautiful Heater bezel. Mine is cracked up, so i suffer from bezel envyThought I better get myself over to my mate's mums to see if the Z was still in one piece and to have a go at starting it. Armed with a new battery - I had brought the other one back a year ago or so but I fried it somehow. Anyway, that turned up yesterday so off I went. After some new fuel and cranking it over for a while, I took the plugs out - wet, not surprisingly, gave them a clean and lo and behold, the thing spluttered into life soon after on full choke for a bit but soon settled down to tick over at 850 rpm. Top end sounds a bit tappety but at least it runs - and now I can think about getting it home next week ... and took the luggage rack I bought from Healey 12 (David) over just to see what it'll look like when fitted. Superb is the answer.

Those are the best. I got a pair for Christmas and once you use them, forget about jacks and stands!New green toy to make life easier. View attachment 61597
I did this when I junked the US system a couple of years ago but I can’t remember what I used …This week, I sealed my manifold air tubes with plugs. If you do this, use XPando to seal the threads and never worry about a leak.

I will save all of the smog stuff in case I ever sell it (likely will be buried in it). I am having a hard time finding the balance tube gaskets for my 71. 72-76 are available but 70-71 are not for some reason. I will just make gaskets.I did this when I junked the US system a couple of years ago but I can’t remember what I used …

I was thinking about the advice not to jack the car at those points. There's a thread or 2 on here about not using those points for 2 post lifts, which amounts to the same thing?That looks a bit precarious to me?
Its not so much how your lifting it but where, basically don't use the sills other than in an emergency! don't use the chassis rails either apart from the area under the rod mounting.Agree! It was not a safe lift, just trying it out. I got four rubber blocks with notches in them, similar to the stock scissor lift jack that comes with the car.
Besides using the sills, I looks to me like it could be pushed sideways and collapse.That looks a bit precarious to me?
That is one clean routing job.Fitted new HT leads and a pair of Crane Neck HT lead holders.
