Bugeye jack handle

Share this page

The early jack handle just used a ratcheting arrangement that fit over a hex head bolt. Lot's of options but I imagine Kevin is trying to put together something for a concourse showing. All the spridget jacks were great at damaging the bodywork.

Thanks for the ebay lead, but it won't work for my jack, because it has a hex head. I know the stock jacks are tricky, but I just wanted a stock handle. Not sure if I would ever take the bug to a car show again (too much work) but you never know. I pretty much have everything stock, and this is the last part of the tools that I need.
 
The one on eBay is part number 2A5627 for AN5-501 to AN5-50116 chassis. They made a three legged jack that used a swivel type ratchet for later chassis.
