Having spent the winter playing with the jacks and tool kits, not to mention my Heuer Rally timer collection that has essentially financed this folly for me, I've come across a lot of stuff but not a lot of info.
My friends in UK have been arguing which of the jacks, both marked LJ225 CA265, are right for a BJ8. Some one, some the other, some say either. What do I know?
I have both of the jacks. Frankly, the drop nose is a much heavier duty jack than the straight nose. The screw is about twice the diameter, though the rod is about half. Not that I'd use either, but for show purposes.
I've also put together a tool kit by scavenging items from around the world at pennies. I've included all the right stuff from the supplemental tool kit (except a tommy bar as yet), plus a few additional pieces that I just happened to like.
I don't know who is right, but I will happily defer to Reid, as I'm absolutely sure he knows more than me. So I plan to sell one of the jacks on ebay to pay for the other. Now I know which one to sell. Please understand that my old driver isn't winning any concours events, and I never plan to have it that shiney that I can't drive it whenever I want. But I still like to turn a few heads and bring a trophy home so my son can put it on the wall.
